In the future she plans to either move to the US (there are a number of ways) or just visit me from time to time and stay for a few months in the US.She wants to take advantage of our low housing prices, purchase a house, rent it out (rental income is not that important to her but it would be nice if it at least covered expenses on property tax, utilities etc.).Off course, she is going to pay cash, and I am ready to help her as much as I can.

We recently helped some friends move after they had been foreclosed on, and had utilities turned off.

If one wishes to carry back paper on an asset they own free and clear and later pledge the loan receivables as collateral for a new loan who would they normally contact to loan this money? What sorts of terms are gen...

Unfortunately I think you will find that section 8 cares more about their tenants than the landlords.I have gone the route before of section 8 violations and the case workers do nothing.You simply have to evict the section 8 tenants.Mine not in compliance went voluntarily.It was a case of one great tenant next door had a small child care facility of watching 4 to 5 kids.The section 8 next door that were inherited tenants I received upon inspection had a pit bull and a rottweiler.They were told that was a violation of their lease.We evicted and they said they had gotten rid of the animal only to find they were hiding it and was back again.The parents dropping off the kids were scared of the pit bull for the day care next door.This tenant also had a portion of utilities they were responsible for after the voucher paid.They went round and round not understanding why they paid the difference etc.I can tell you when you look at section 8 it is great as long as you pay attention to the voucher.If you want to rent for 800 and the voucher is for 500 then don't do it.They simply will not make up the difference.If it's only 50 bucks they have to come up with then they can usually pull it off.Section 8 inspectors are real picky on all the things they want fixed before you pass inspection.If a tenant wears down a property heavily each year and you have to put a ton of money in to pass inspection each time that is a consideration.Don't be quick to evict the other regular tenant.You have to treat them like a person with a mortgage falling on hard times.

Is this a common way to handle this issue?

I also find they let me know about issues a lot faster, washer not working, light bulbs out in the common area etc.. ( we manage the building ourselves).

This is a process most commonly between competing brokers on behalf of their agents discussing issues such as what there a coop fee, who showed the home and when, were there any signs of abandonment or estrangement by either parties and a multitude of other factors that only a fair impartial hearing panel would be used to determine if the rules set out by the Nat' Assoc. of Realtors are properly followed.Close the transaction, get your home sold, and thrreated to sue any Realtors for totious interference if any of them threated to hold up the sale unless you pay them a fee over and above what you have already agreed to in writing.

Is this common?
