I’m trying to outline the (strictly) legal steps for an eviction.

There's a legal triplex I'm looking at that would cash flow with my financing, market rents and expenses, BUT it's priced at or above market with at least $25K in renovations conservatively.

I just wondered if there was a legal way to avoid this and we're definitely talking to our attorney about options.

I forgot to state that I am not a lawyer and in no way shape or form is the above intended to be legal advice or taken as such.

The lease is a legally binding agreement that transfers to the new owner.

As far as the legality, that seems to vary from state to state.  

There is really no paper work  to show ( she trusted his word) except for the 35 years of payment from my mother and father's  bank account to their son's account for the mortgage.What and are their any legal avenues that I can help my mother with.

I hear Queen Center Mall looks practically like -and better than- Manhattan mall these days.I'd do phone interviews then meet at a public place ie Starbucks in Forest Hills unless my office were available already.For properties to invest in, I'd probably work with an investor-friendly broker who I'd legally be able to pay a commission per deal found and closed on.

This is one arena where you should always have legal representation.

All legal.
