Broke their little hearts when I told them they weren't getting a four bedroom, two bath house with new appliances and finished hardwood floors for $500 a month.Gail

If she can't keep up with that then have a heart to heart and have her move or be evicted.

Our free press is at the heart of our Democracy and we the people must fight to maintain that freedom.

Gotta outbid the time hut the method works.I wouldn't recommend this as outbidding the time hut can lead to massive lawsuits,jail time and broken hearts :)-

My heart says do it (it is in Texas - hot!) 

We've had many broken hearted wannabe wholesalers on BP, many just want to go down the yellow brick road, all I'm saying is wake up! 

It is a tremendous undertaking, but I didn't get the sense from these three contractors that they'd have my best interest at heart at the end of the day.  

It makes it personal property and as such would not qualify for 1031 unless you had actually accepted rent from your mom and could document and had documented that she was a tenant.Your best bet if you've treated the income and expenses appropriately would be to sell and take the % you live in as a 121 exemption and do a 1031exchange for the % you have been renting.Time for a heart to heart with your accountant.

You bringing up the terms arrogance and humility, I think gets at the heart of the matter.

I'll also take the property manager advice to heart, I'm going to need someone who can look after my rental any time I leave the area and would eventually like to take a cut on income to outsource some of the work to a manager.Speaking hypothetically, do you think it would be better to buy a $50,000 home that rents for $650 vs a $25,000 home that rents for $450 because of fewer tenant issues?
