Hope it helpsYes, you can claim a credit on your Maryland state tax return for local taxes paid in Pennsylvania.

Retail is moving to an "amazon resistant model" Think service-based locations where you get your medication, pick up food, or an escape room.

Thereby, paying off my brother and mortgage and then having my brother do the quick claim deed to transfer title to my fiance and I, is what we are thinking would be the best way to go about this without incurring any other fees/penalties.

I don't mind going through small claims to garnish wages, but the limit is $5k here.

But then again I wouldn’t be surprised if the city’s step in and claim that tenants are still out of a job that’s why we can’t evict. 

However, a foreclosure form a mortgage lender is one thing (and not a simple one), but a foreclosure prompted by personal debts or medical debts is an even more tedious and slow affair.   

For example, things like: how far behind (how much $) their tenant is behind on rent, likelihood the tenant would ever be able to catch up on their own (without assistance), whether the tenant is collectible should the landlord decide not to pursue assistance and go after a judgment in small claims court instead (some tenants are judgment-proof so the assistance may be a better option), ability of the landlord to weather the storm (do they have a lot of reserves or are they about to lose the property), willingness of the tenant to cooperate in the process (you need the tenant's cooperation for this to work), etc. 

It came with a quit claim deed and I’m not too sure what, how, or if I need to clear it up.

It's those maniacs that buy homes cash via quit claim deed off of craigslist that really get screwed.Make sure your property manager is a licensed real estate brokerage.Google Clayton Morris scam and/or Morris Invest scam for a cautionary tale of what not to do when buying turnkey real estateUnderstand you can not eliminate all risk, only mitigate it.

The lion’s share of homeowner policies exclude flooding as someitng they will cover this is due to the fact that they know your property (any property has a higher risk of flooding then ever having to make a claim on what they will cover) primarily fire which has a .01% of ever happening.There are many individual reasons why flood insurance is skipped by property owners. and if you want to discuss your risk you should call your agent or you can ask in this post and I will try to answer it for the beinfit of our BP community.
