Tampa, FloridaPros: My family (2 brothers, nieces and nephews, and my parents) will be there and if I'm living in the US, I'd like to live near them.

The catch is that I'm partnering with my best friend (fraternity brother, best man at each others weddings , I trust him with my life) who has some background in REI.

I bought the house for 85,000 with my brother (I first formed an LLC) with 25% down.

Tons of people with a wealth of knowledge on here.Blessings brother,

My parents were landlords for over 20 years in Texas and my brother recently started as a landlord in Las Vegas. 

I do not know what the codes are in your area, but in Alberta for a bedroom window you need an egress window, the one in the picture is too small for a bedroom to be a fire escape anyway: so new well, cutting concrete, installing new window anyway

The previous owners granddaughter, mother and brother live there and have all been served eviction notices. 

You're right; I could avoid the issue and have him sign a new lease.The reason I'm not paying to get a lawyer is that this is trivial and the sister and brother will probably be friends again soon.

@Duke Hartman My brother is a great Handyman.

I am eager to learn as much as possible and after reading the life changing book "Rich Dad Poor Dad", I am determined to escape the rat race.
