I'll spend over $6000 on appliances where Brian plans to spend $2200, and that 3x factor probably translates to all finishes (marble vs ceramic, vinyl plank vs solid hardwood, etc).

First of all- I dont think there are any statues that you have to manage your property so, if the tenant wants too- they can do not have to renew their lease.

As the statue words it "a buyer of equity" can be at risk for prosecution buying at a price less than the market value.CIVIL CODE SECTION 1695-1695.17http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?

According to the $77k lien holder the $77k debt was charged off in 2008 and the payoff says the statute of limitations has expired.The seller claims to have no idea what this $77k lien is and the lien holder says that it can take 30 days to dispute the lien (The primary mortgage holder will foreclose on the property by then)Can a lien with expired statue of limitations be removed from a property in California?

Drive out a mile and you'll find the big, boasting brownstones, spires and wrought iron, gargoyles and the glorious marble and brass vestibules of Mount Vernon.  

Sounds like collecting dropped marbles would be a breeze.

Here is a link of the Nevada Revised Statues and one to a non-profit that handles tenant-landlord issues.

Furthermore, as a beneficiary/owner, I can make a good and strong argument that he lived on the property "rent free" for eight years and became a "caregiver", not to "care" for the property but to live cheaply, particularly if the annual standard rent is less then the taxes.Perhaps North Carolina statues or case law would legally give him the right to take 100% ownership but frankly, I doubt it.Perhaps an argument can be made that the other owners abandoned the property, but then I believe you/or the caregiver would have to prove that the other owners had actual knowledge that they owned a share of the property.I'm wondering if a suit to quit title would be appropriate here as such a suit has the court determine ownership where Parties are disputing the issue of title, and here you state that the property "went" to other owners.You also stated: "I have acquired roughly 27 signatures- still have about 10-15 to go.

Now with the states making harder with license requirements, hassles of filing foreclosure in judicial states, stipulations on contacting borrowers, statue of limitations since last payment or maturity of the notes, I am much happier doing the business loans to landlords, and working on investor relations for 16 geriatric behavioral health hospitals, and lender relations for a company buying pools of low balance consumer notes in the single digit range and bringing them lenders who also want to clip coupons and not deal with all the hassles of mortgage notes. 

Normally you would spray a sealant on the tile after grouting (or maybe that's only if it's marble, not sure) -- but if you spray the sealant BEFORE grouting, then the grout won't stick to the tile as much and is easier to wipe off (downside: your dance party doesn't last as long).
