Speaking from a vantage point of being no longer young, though, and always in love with learning I can tell you that for me, finally allowing myself to feel good in the midst of scarcity and even in some ways in less than perfect health has been one of life's greatest gifts.

We told them we weren't raising rents at this time (that put them at ease and gained their trust & cooperation), then we inspected all the units and focused on health & safety issues and deferred maintenance.

The town zoning will not allow us to separate out the cottage from the main home.The owner is 75 years old an his health is not great.

I am very glad to have gotten an undergraduate degree in liberal arts, and a graduate degree in public health which is salable. 

One Health Dept's minutes were about a rental property where a neighbor complained about the "septic smell", the health dept went there and said the septic was "failing", they condemned the house, summoned the owner & made him put the family up in a hotel till it was fixed legally ( no midnight fix with a small backhoe).

The City is asking our partners to extend and increase their support to provide immediate and long-term assistance, including: Washington State  Allocate additional resources for mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment;  Set Medicaid rates for inpatient treatment at an amount that is sufficient to provide effective treatment;  Identify state-owned property to host authorized encampments, vehicle parking, emergency shelter, and housing;  Allocate intervention and other resources to address the public health and safety crisis associated with unauthorized encampments on state property along I-5, I-90, and SR-99, including implementing physical changes to those areas to minimize ongoing and longterm public health and safety risks.  Increase the amount and expand allowable support services in the Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG), including Housing and Essential Needs Program and stabilize funding for CHG;  Restore the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to pre-recession levels; and  Authorize additional financing tools to expand affordable housing and ensure affordability and protections for tenants.

I just don't think I should be liable for their furniture or clothes and especially any health issue since I had no control of the situation.

A few things we will do differently in 2023: - we will close the capital raise for our Integrity Income Fund (performing/re-performing fund);- we will have a new bookkeeping team;- with acquisition of notes, we will be more strict in our search for equity (lower ITV) to protect downside risk for our investors;- our loan servicing company (BIFI) will have more loans to service as it continues to acquire additional state licenses;- I plan to focus more on my health and family than I did in 2022.-------- (and I agree that @John Underwood wins comment of the week)

This means her health insurance alone will cost about $1k/month from the quotes she has received.

I eventually asked her what she knew about the house and she let me know who the owner was and that they bought it to fix it up but had health problems so they couldn't.
