Debt service is crushing the middle class and has become a part of our culture...Buck that trend and you can not only get out of debt, but accomplish your goal of building passive income to support a lifestyle beyond slingin' pizza dough.

Lived in it until 2014 and it's been rented to same (awesome) tenant for two years.1588sqft, 2 bed w/ loft, 3 bathIt's in Concord, less than 10 minutes from Concord Mills.It's in great condition, great location, have had very few minor issues, it cash flows a few hundred bucks a month, but I just don't want to find another tenant (or be a landlord).

(But that's not a bad thing - you pay off your friend, and you're really only out of pocket for a few thousand bucks to pick up the rental unit). 

I guess I made a mistake because of is his attitude, but he was going to leave his bed but he didn't and management company said he didn't do anything wrong, but this was confirmed via email with the tenant and management company, also the property is like a few hours on the plane from me, so i cannot go down there etc etc, so I am stuck like, stain on carpet or cleaning won't cost $500 bucks and as I am not there how do I prove it with receipts, can I just pay him it or try and find a way to get to the $500

Yes, Technically you could buy it from her even if she BK'd... that is, if you wanted to pay off lien, but if they BK'd then there is probably no equity in property, a half decent BK lawyer would have advised them to sell if there was any equity and could then pay off other debts as well and probably make more money in attorney fees.I agree with Ahmed, if you can get a quit claim deed signed over to you then you have control over the property at least until the bank takes possession (which they will eventually) but you could rent out month to month in the mean time. it might even be worth paying them a couple hundred bucks to sign quite claim deed..don't go spending money rehabbing though being vacant so long, unless your sure you could very quickly make money back on rents.. you have no idea when bank will take possession.

My mortgage matures in 2024Reason for refinancing is to get the Mortgage into my name, I do pay the mortgage but it is in a family members name.Does anyone have some sound advise for me on how to solve this problem?

@Irene Darville I have a construction company and service the Bucks and Philadelphia county area.

When my neighbor asked him about it, the CEO said he learned more by listening while others did the talking.Experienced-based maturity rather than chronological age might be the better metric.

Different markets have different details, but on average, I have found that a solid renovation is about 80-100 bucks per square foot.
