as the representative of an estate, I sold two pieces of property in another state (MI) w/ my fathers former business partner. 

It's been a rental property since her father owned it, and the current tenants are a family that has occupied it for over 23 years.There have been quite a few mistakes my mom has made along the way since taking over with these tenants, but a big one was not locating the original rental agreement they signed, and not having them sign a new agreement once she took ownership of the property. 

I was recently hired by my father (owner of the business) and he currently accepts financial aid from his student renters for rent payment.

His father raped him when the father was still a minor and dear ol' dads girlfriend kept getting pregnant, and for entertainment she'd get drunk and fist fight the neighbors in the alley (while pregnant) and they'd take her babies away at the hospital (5 babies), -- the grandmother wanted me to install a dead bolt on the outside of the kid rapists bedroom door.

Their distant relatives now occupy the property as the father said they could live there before he passed away.

My father is a GC, so that's why I quoted the numbers for the jacuzzi and deck area on the low side, but yes costs of everything have definitely gone up.  

Both my parents (father and mother) can each give me $15,000 (dad gives me $15k, mom gives me $15k) in the same year for a total of $30,000 untaxed or need to report.3.

It was my Father In-Laws primary residence and we took it over when he passed away.  

Lastly, for what it's worth, Lazaro is listed online as being 60-64 years old:  http://www.whitepages.com/name/Lazaro-Kiselhttp://radaris.com/p/Lazaro/Kisel/Hardly seems old enough to be the father of the person depicted in Raphael's user photo. 

I have a HFA loan for my primary residence and would be obtaining a rental property with my father and his VA loan.
