After kicking the defendants ass in court today, the judge gave the
babbling bitch and her deadbeat husband 5 days then I get to kick them
to the curb with the marshall... This song kept going through my head
on the way home from court, and I found a great version.. If you like
rock, turn it up, and check it out....

Oh, I hope they don't do a bunch of damage during the five days. I had that happen to me once.
Luckily the insurance took care of all but the deductible. The guy's security deposit covered that.

Once we get them out I have to evaluate the conditon of the property and
make a determination as to how to move ahead from here. One option is to
have a real estate agent manage the property. Also we have become aware
that our right to do background checks and even a state police character
check, along with credit checks with the prospective tenants signature.
We will require that, as well as pay stubs and job history with
references, I can verify and contact.. We just have to be more diligent,
and I have to stop giving folks the benefit of the doubt just because
they have kids... that has probably been my biggest mistake so far.

Again, based on the condition, we may just sell. I have poured my soul
into this home not 4 times. Once when we moved in, and three times
because of pigs. I am not sure I have it in me to do it again...

Better than even odds thats the way we go... Still trying to wrap around

starting to dig into these pigs and he is fighting back child support,
she is being sued for back rent somewhere else....

There are people who seem to be successful at renting out property.
I've met a few. I think part of the key is probably to do a very
extensive background check. Deadbeats tend to be repeat offenders
and leave a trail of debris behind them. I think another key is to
have a really air tight lease/rental agreement with well defined
deadlines and penalties for late payment. If you want high end
tenants however you really need to start with a high end property.
That may not ne the case here.

If we ever do rent again we will certainly do all of the above. Another
thing I have picked up on is again, I am empathetic to folks with kids,
and tend to let them fall behind until it's just too deep. If I rent
again, and I always do have an airtight lease, saved my ass today for
sure... Anyway, if I rent again, first time late rent, warning, second
time, even a day, start proceedings.. This really gives a more serious
tenant 6 months to either fight, or straighten out and get it right....

If you don't have a mortgage on the property and would like to generate
long term income on it without renting it another option is to do a
seller financed sale.

The requirement to qualify the buyer still exists but people who are
buying rather than renting typically will have a higher respect for the
property because they are acquiring equity in it. Best thing for the
sellers is that they will earn the interest that otherwise a bank would
earn. Over a 15 or 30 year term, it is a significant amount.

The buyer assumes all responsibility for maintenance, repairs and
insurance just like in a conventional bank mortgage. If the buyer sells
the house, the seller gets paid the outstanding principal due, just like
a bank loan. One difference however is that according to our attorney,
it is much easier and faster to foreclose and evict should the buyer
default than what bank foreclosure requirements are.

We had two properties that we sold this way, the first being almost 10
years ago. Neither party have ever been a day late on their monthly
payments. If both parties go the full term of the mortgages (30 years)
we will receive much more in total principal/interest that what we would
have by a conventional sale.

The other benefit is that capital gains taxes (if they apply) are spread
out over the term of the mortgage and the principal component of the
monthly payment is not considered income for income tax purposes. Only
the interest is taxable.

The two sales that we did this way provide a nice, regular income to
supplement whatever other sources of income we have.

Great song...

Yeah, it works in unique circumstances where you don't need the proceeds
from the sale to purchase another house and you don't have a mortgage on
the property you are selling.

The second house we sold this way was to a young couple that my wife
knew through her horse network of friends. The market value of the
house was a little higher than what they could afford in monthly
payments in a conventional bank mortgage. We worked it out by
determining what amount in principal and interest they could comfortably
afford and sold it to them for that amount. To protect us, I included
an early payoff penalty for a period of 6 years (in case they sold it)
that would guarantee us the full market price had we sold it
conventionally. Worked out good for them and we will more than make up
the difference in market value in interest paid. Already has.

One thing you have to consider is what you could otherwise earn on the
proceeds of a conventional sale, if invested elsewhere.

In our case, being a conservative investor, I am more comfortable with
the interest earned on the mortgages than I would be in other
investments (like the stock market) that *could* possibly result in
higher yields.

When we did the mortgages, interest rates were much higher than they are
now. I think one is at 6.5% and the other is 8%. We are satisfied with
that.

from the sale to purchase another house and you don't have a mortgage on
the property you are selling.

The second house we sold this way was to a young couple that my wife
knew through her horse network of friends. The market value of the
house was a little higher than what they could afford in monthly
payments in a conventional bank mortgage. We worked it out by
determining what amount in principal and interest they could comfortably
afford and sold it to them for that amount. To protect us, I included
an early payoff penalty for a period of 6 years (in case they sold it)
that would guarantee us the full market price had we sold it
conventionally. Worked out good for them and we will more than make up
the difference in market value in interest paid. Already has.

If I move to Essex, and continue to pay mortgage there, I could sell
this one as I do own it free and clear...... Is it difficult, are there
attys out there that know how to do this correctly, I imagine there must be?

Great song...

That's every owner's nightmare. Do you have a strategy to
keep it
from happening again?



I would. Sell it.


===

There are people who seem to be successful at renting out property.
I've met a few. I think part of the key is probably to do a very
extensive background check. Deadbeats tend to be repeat offenders
and leave a trail of debris behind them. I think another key is to
have a really air tight lease/rental agreement with well defined
deadlines and penalties for late payment. If you want high end
tenants however you really need to start with a high end property.
That may not ne the case here.


If we ever do rent again we will certainly do all of the above.
Another
thing I have picked up on is again, I am empathetic to folks with
kids,
and tend to let them fall behind until it's just too deep. If I rent
again, and I always do have an airtight lease, saved my ass today for
sure... Anyway, if I rent again, first time late rent, warning,
second
time, even a day, start proceedings.. This really gives a more
serious
tenant 6 months to either fight, or straighten out and get it
right....

I've never regretted selling the rental properties. Yeah, sometimes I
wonder how much I could get
for them today, but probably not much more than I did. Plus I've gone
without a whole lot of
headaches. You know what they say about the two happiest boating
days...buying it and selling it.
The same is true of a rental, if you ask me.



If you don't have a mortgage on the property and would like to generate
long term income on it without renting it another option is to do a
seller financed sale.

The requirement to qualify the buyer still exists but people who are
buying rather than renting typically will have a higher respect for the
property because they are acquiring equity in it. Best thing for the
sellers is that they will earn the interest that otherwise a bank would
earn. Over a 15 or 30 year term, it is a significant amount.

The buyer assumes all responsibility for maintenance, repairs and
insurance just like in a conventional bank mortgage. If the buyer sells
the house, the seller gets paid the outstanding principal due, just
like
a bank loan. One difference however is that according to our attorney,
it is much easier and faster to foreclose and evict should the buyer
default than what bank foreclosure requirements are.

We had two properties that we sold this way, the first being almost 10
years ago. Neither party have ever been a day late on their monthly
payments. If both parties go the full term of the mortgages (30 years)
we will receive much more in total principal/interest that what we
would
have by a conventional sale.

The other benefit is that capital gains taxes (if they apply) are
spread
out over the term of the mortgage and the principal component of the
monthly payment is not considered income for income tax purposes. Only
the interest is taxable.

The two sales that we did this way provide a nice, regular income to
supplement whatever other sources of income we have.

Wow, that is a great idea I have never explored... Thanks man...

Not difficult at all. I basically wrote up the terms and conditions
myself and then had it reviewed by our accountant. He actually drafted
the formal mortgage agreement. He didn't change a thing and gave it his
thumbs up of approval.

I checked with our attorney to make sure there were not any unique
requirements or legal issues we didn't know about. That's when he told
me that in the case of default a seller financed mortgage is much
easier to foreclose upon than a bank mortgage. He also said it was a
good deal for both parties and handled the closing that was very informal.

Great song...

Yes, I am sure my local laws might be different, but the same
protections surely would be desired, just might have to go about them
differently here.. But I am sure your agreement would be a great start
for us...

I don't have any of the original electronic files (they were done on a
computer from years ago) but we have the original hardcopy documents.
I'll find the one that had the "penalty" clause in it because it was the
more complex of the two and I'll scan it, electronically white out any
non-pertinent sections and send it to you. Might take a day or two.
Mrs.E. has all that stuff and I'll have to ask her to dig it up.

I have a fun story about tenants. This was back when you could buy a
standard mailbox for $3.99.
Had tenants, a guy, a girl that was *beautiful, living with a low
life, and three kids.
Non paid rent, kicking them out, on the final exit, "what about the
mail box I replaced?" I ask "how much was it?", he said "$22.99."
I said "you can have the mailbox", and I took it off the post and gave
it to him.
Now, I knew I would have problems when I put the new $3.99 mailbox
back up. But I started with an advantage, the post was a piece of buried
telephone pole. I cut a 2" x 6" to fit inside the edges of the mailbox.
I lagged this 2" x 6" to the telephone post with 3/8" x 6" bolts and
installed the mailbox to the 2" x 6" with 3" screws.
So about a week later when "someone" happened to come by to knock the
mailbox off the post, well let's just say, I hope it hurt when he hit it.
The mailbox didn't leave the post.


* this beautiful girl could have had the cream of the crop in men and
picked a guy that was a bum.

Somewhat off topic but in the early 60's there was this old Russian guy
lived across the street, used to take our mailbox out twice a year or
so. Great freinds with my dad, they loaned tools, he brought us fish
when he went out on the boat, but he never ever said or admitted backing
into our mailbox.. He was always drunk by the way, but still a nice guy.
My dad got a 10 foot long by 6 inch wide steel pipe and set it in cement
about 5 feet deep, then filled it with cement. A couple weeks later the
guy had a huge dent in his bumper, and there was a nick on our steel
tube.. .he never hit it again, not even once... still, never said a word
about it.

Great song...
