Not sure whether because of this tough policy, when they managed my properties three years ago, I never had any late payment.

Its pretty tough to get a loan if you are self employed, especially if you are good at dodging the tax man.I was just saying you'd be surprised who has money out there.

How do you prove the tenant isn't paying now and what evidence to you keep to be ready for one.

Vehicles and titled trailers, toys like a 4 wheeler the lien is perfected by completing the lien section on the title and sent in to the DMV or similar state agency.It the interest is in connection with a land deal, file a notice of the other lien in the land records with the subject property, if they will do it, but it at least throws caution in a title search that may cause contractual issues, but aren't liens on the property.Don't file a note unless your recorder requires it for personal property, you may need to prove the debt was created. :).

Welcome to BP @Glenn Lovelace, sorry to hear about the tough situation.

I would sell the property to your mother in law (for $1 or whatever) and call it a day.If your mother in law wasn't in the picture, you could try and seller finance it to a neighbor if no one would pay cash for it.The costs of maintaining and mowing the lot could prove quite burdensome over time.Good luck

It's tough selling a product that you cannot see or touch, outside of a piece of paper.

As far as building goes that may be a little tough as well if looking to do it in Heights or Museum District, those areas get pretty pricey, not too mention the competition.

I Also have family who own there, so I've got at least a bit of first hand insight.Unfortunately, it's tough to get a reasonable return with a vacation rental there.

Holidays are tough, but this is a business, not a charity.Best of luck to you,Jack
