Food luck.

Just food for thought.

You do need to make sure all food is out of the home.

my father rents year round to a family of mexican americans in south jersey. in the summer, we got a call from one of the neighbors that at 11pm there was 66 people in the backyard that consists of just a deck and a small grass patch. yes, she counted 66.

You're assuming the mortgage payments are investment costs when it fact they're living expenses in the case of your residence.If I'm able to save $5,000 this year from my investments but spend $5,000 for food during that same period (big eater), have I just broken even?

That's not including the sites with electric/lighting, permanent tenants, food vendors, and storage facilities they have on site.

The buyer incentives include a 2-year "Master Lease" (lease-back) program, that guarentee's 2 years of mortage payments (up to 10% total purchase price per year),2 years HOA,2 years Property taxes, and covers closing costs(up to 1% of purchace price)and a Fly and Buy program, that covers travleing, board, and some food costs when veiwing the property.

When they are in my shoes, I provide shelter and food to them.

And at that, with the market being what it is, I will need to be able to support me for 6-8 months of both mortgage payments, utilities and food until my residence sells.

good food for thought.
