Open Question: I feel so foolish - Can't seem to let him go with everything in my life being so stressful!!?

I'm in hell at the moment - Work has become really horrid, I am being bullied by two women and no matter how much I talk to management about it they dont seem to understand or do anything about it!! I moved into a new rental property last week so I could be closer to work.....I have a six month contract with the agency and work is awful....I just want to leave..... I've realised I am not supported unfortunately and the supervisions I am meant to have in order to de-breif never happen, training isnt available and in every I've really had enough. I am looking and applying for other jobs....however I may have to move again in order to take the job which I really don't want to do :( I have bronchitus at the moment but havent taken any time off because I do not want to look weak or as if work is bring me down I need time out.... I am trying to stay strong!! I met a guy last October who was really great for about three weeks...he then turned into a total player... Christmas was a nightmare because he played with my mind and kept me hanging, didnt call me back and was general horrid. I feel I have learnt alot from it and he does still keep in touch however I either ignore his texts or leave his phone calls. Yesterday he contacted me asking if I wanted to meet up - stupidly I said yes!! We went out last night and it was a good night, he seemed his old self and was on good form. He wants to meet up again tonight however every night I kept saying to myself 'what are you doing!!' I havent told any of my mates about it because they would hit the roof and be mad. I feel foolish for seeing him but at the same time through every the rubbish it lifted my mood and made me feel better. I feel I can control the situation however when he kisses me my head spins which I know isnt a good thing!! I can't help feeling I was just the one that got away and he is just trying to add another notch to his bedpost (I never slept with him) A lepoard never changes his spots right?! I know I'm heading for a fall but I can't seem to cease myself....what am I doing???

Open Question: Why did Obama say they will help the housing market by renting more homes?

Now our govt is in the Rental Business! I guess thats why he picked Tony Rezko to hang with for so many years to learn the ropes on corrupted rentals and stealing property from decent difficult working people. Renting don't receive us anywhere! Only govt gains from that! Know why so many people can't receive loans at banks now? Obama regulations forcing banks to Equally distribute loans to certain Ethnic backrounds! Whats so "EQUAL" about it when most Whites are oppressed by the regulations unfairly according to the White population?

Open Question: Do I report raw land on Schedule E?

I have 4 raw land investments. Are these consider real property and do I have to put them on schedule E? They are passive investments, but i do pay tax on them. If not on schedule E, where do I put them on my tax return? Perhaps nothing and just capitalize the tax paid to increase my cost basis and report them on Schedule D (capital gain) when I sell the land? Same questions if the property is owned by a multi member LLC, do I put this on the Form 8825 as with other rental property?

Open Question: House next door is for sale. How should I deal with people peering over the fence into my yard?

In California & the home next door has gone up for sale. It's a BAC short sale and the owner has chosen to go into hiding while his empty rental home is going through the sales process. A real estate company has posted their sign and photos of the property on the internet as an as-is sale. So, the investors arrive to the neighbors for info. The other neighbors are equally annoyed at these nosey investors. We are sick of it....but we want good neighbors & wish for it to be owner occupied instead of becoming a rental again. Basically, the lookie-loos are freaking us out and disturbing our serenity in the back yard. How can we deal with the daily parade of morons peering through and over the fence? @Yermiyaha- I have given that a thought. I am in a gun friendly area, but have no overalls!

Resolved Question: Rental Business: Upper unit tenants of property I viewed got drunk and caused flood last year?

Hi, and as a result water poured to lower units and basement unit and while viewing the property a musty odor was noticed in some areas. The tenants who started the 'party' were evicted. Would you further investigate this building (assuming it met your other criterias of course good CAP etc.) or would this incidence alone be enough to decide not to buy the building? I am tempted to say yes, it is probably a good reason not to buy the building if you have to deal with serious mold issue due to improper steps taken by owner following the flood. It's just a bit scary to think such an incidence can significantly affect a property value/destroy an investment for the current owner as this can happen to us any day. THANKS AND SINCERELY

Open Question: I currently work/live overseas and I have been for the past 2 years. Does that mean I am a non-resident?

I am from Utah. According to Utah: A nonresident individual is one who was not domiciled in Utah, or does not maintain a place of abode in Utah, or was in Utah for temporary purposes for less than 183 days during the taxable year. In determining whether an individual spends 183 or more days in Utah, a day means a day in which the individual spends more time in Utah than in any other state. Income a nonresident receives from Utah sources is taxable in Utah. Therefore I should file a non-resident tax return correct? I am using Turbotax and I was below the impression that I should be paying Utah taxes on my income since that is where I have a drivers license, voting, rental properties, and banking. However, according to Utah, I am a non-resident. I am a little confused. Anybody familiar with this situation, please comment. Much appreciated. One other thing to clarify. I do NOT possess a home in Utah. I possess rental properties that I have never lived in and I never intend to live in.

I'm a non-resident and I possess two rental properties in Florida. 1- Can I use the 1031-exchange if I sell these properties and buy two other properties slightly more expensive? 2- What are the capital gains tax at the federal and state (FL) level for a non-resident, who owns for more than 2 years? 3- For a non-resident, does it pay off to do a 1031-exchange instead of paying regular taxes?

Open Question: Tenants from nightmare on Elm street?

So I got these tenants who are relatively young war Iraqi veterans. I did my part to help our soldiers arrive back and resettle back to civillian live. But to make a long story short they have been having problems with the pumbing but they never mention it. They got use to the harsh live in Iraq with every the "wounded warrior" stuff they seem to go through. So they finally busted out and told me so I gave them a generous discount the month before and I got the pumbing fixed. Later on the next month the pumbler did not do a good job of fixing the pumbling and the same problem occurred and I got blamed for not acting quick enough. Anyway one of the tenants jumped me and I made a police report. But I gave into my better side and decided to drop the charges and we began to talk. I wrote them a letter saying that they did not have to pay the full amount on the rental property as long as they fix the place. The place is more of a studio and not an actual apt. They claim to have contacted a lawyer and said they had 30 days to find a place. Yet I have a police report and scared they will do something harsh for pursuing this discourse. What should i do? they also are growing weed at the apartment complex.

Open Question: How to make a data table using Excel?

THIS IS tHE QUESTION:Create a proper Data Table to find the in it ial truck rental rate that ach ieves t he h ighest overal l investmen t profit af t er the propert y is sold in t h ree years. Use rental pr ices ranging from $800 to $1000 in $25 increments (i.e., 800, 825, 850, 875, etc.) To compute overall investment profit, sum up the profit from each year, add the selling price (after 3 years) and subtract the $1,500,000 purchase cost. Graph these results using a line chart type and using the range of truck rental rates as the horizontal (x) ax is. THIS IS THE INFO: Watson Truck Rental Company is for sale for $1,500,000. Watson consists of a fleet of 75 big t rucks that are ren t ed by indiv idual con t ract ors. Er ic Wat son , the seller, has asked you t o develop a th ree- year f inancial analysis t o assist poten t ial buyers in evaluating the company . Watson currently pays property taxes of $35 ,000 per year , and property taxes are expected to increase at a rate of 7% per year, starting in year 1. Watson pays $4,250 per truck per year to administer and maintain the fleet, and maintenance costs are estimated to increase 10% per year, starting in year 1. Watson currently charges a truck rental rate of $1,000 per month for each truck, but he’s not su re that is the best price. At this rate, Watson rents an average of 60% of t he t rucks each mont h. Wat son believes lower ing the rental ren t by $50 w sick increase the average num ber of trucks rented by 4% and that this increment would apply to each additional reduction in truck rental rate of $50. (For example, at a $600 truck rental rate 92% of the trucks would be rented each month). Whatever truck rental rat e is est ablished for the f irst year w sick be increased by 8% per year for years 2 and 3 to cover increases in the cost of operations (tax and maintenance increases). Assume that the average percen t age of t rucks ren t ed in years 2 and 3 w sick be t he same as determined in the first year , regardless of the 9% increased rental rate in those years. Watson em ploys a sales manager who gets paid $1,500 a month plus a 9% commission when more than 38 trucks are rented. The commission rate is only appl ied to the truck rental rate for any number of trucks rented over 38, so there is no commission when 38 trucks are rented, bu t when 38 or more trucks are rented , the 38 th and any number over that would be subject to the commission rate. Watson assumes whoever buys the company will turn around and sel l the business for a profit at the end of three years. The selling price at that time is assumed to be 2-1/2 times the revenue in year 3. Cash flow in each year is assumed to be the same as the net income ( revenue minus expenses) for that year . Effects of depreciation and other factors relating to income taxes can be ignored. Total cash flow in year 3 shou ld also include the cash from the resale of the business. Assume no trucks are bought or sold during the 3 year period. HOW DO I MAKE DATA TABLE?

Open Question: Sale of a rental property that used to be our primary home tax question?

We bought our primary home in 2006. We were not able to sell our primary home during the summer of 2010. We decided to rent it out instead. We rented it for a little over a year and then sold it in the fall of 2011. My question relating to taxes, do I count this as a "sale of business property" or a "Schedule D Home Sale." I'm pretty sure I know which one to go with but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for your help. There was no loss on the sale. It sold for a few thousand more than I bought it for.

Open Question: A will left a house to 3 siblings. If I want to buy out my other 2, WHO is responsible for Home Inspection?

My parents died and left home to 3 siblings - Split 50%, 35%, 15%. I have the 35% and want to buy out the other two. I want to possess this home as a rental/investment property, NOT as a personal residence. The other 2 siblings do not have any interest to live in this home, or to buy the others out - they just want the home sold and to receive their 50% and 15%. So we will need an APPRAISAL and a HOME INSPECTION before I proceed with buying the others out. There is an argument regarding who would be responsible for the costs associated with this "buy out". We agree that the appraisal costs should be split 50, 35, 15%...... BUT we disagree about the HOME INSPECTION costs. Typically, the "buyer" pays for the inspection. But since I would only be buying 65% of the home (since I already possess 35%) and the others just want the cash value ASAP, shouldn't we every split the cost of the inspection as well??? Thank you! Thanks to those who are responding.. so far I like the answers. ;) Additional info - the argument is between my husband and I, and he is the one who feels strongly that the 3 siblings should every split the costs, but I am adamant that I should be the one who pays for 100% of it. Husband disagrees and tells me I am being a "pushover" for not making everyone split the costs.... Ugh...

Resolved Question: Rights of renters? Discrimination based on age?

Hi, I am currently applying to rent a property in Melbourne after moving from NSW along with two work colleagues to start a new job, The three of us have applied for a property advertised at $500 a week. every references checked out and our application was forwarded to the owner. The owner is concerned about our age (two 23 and a 24 year old) and thinks that we will cause extra 'wear and tear' to the property, but says we can pay an extra $50 a week to cover the costs and we will be accepted. I was wondering if this is some legal form of discrimination? These costs should be covered by bond. Is there anything we can do keep for giving the property up completely? Our past rental references state that we have not damaged a property in the past 5 years that we have been renting. I'm guessing that because we haven't signed anything yet then there is nothing we can do? Thats true, I do understand the concern for three unrelated people living in their property. But is asking more a usual thing owners do? $50 extra seems like quite an increase with wear and tear in mind.

Voting Question: How much does it cost to live on your own?

I'm planning on getting onto the housing ladder in the next 6 to 12 months. I am a single male, 25 years old living in Scotland. I'm trying to work out every my bills and how much I would have left over at the end of the month. Im am currently on a salary of £17,400 a year which works out at about £1150/month after tax. Unfortunately promotion prospects aren't good for me as I have never excelled at school or at exams. I reckon my main monthly outgoings will (approximately) be as follows 430 (mortgage) + 250 (car) + 160 (council tax) = 840 total. I understand that there are many other costs that could be added to this - electricity/gas/clothes/food/holidays/internet/maintenance of property etc. I would like to visit my relatives in the Philippines every 2 years and the cost of the airfare is pretty high for me at approx. £700 return. With every these costs I feel I would probably wipe my months salary as soon as i got it - to simply cover my basic standard of living. I have never been in debt and am always quite cautious with my money. I would like to pay off the mortgage myself (over the standard 25 year period) as opposed to jointly buying with someone. I was thinking a good idea would be to keep a little more and stretch to a 2 bed flat and rent the other room out which may bring in something like £350-400 a month before tax - are mortgage lenders generally OK with this or are there restrictions? I think this will obviously depend on the rental market in the area/location of property among other things. I don't plan on getting married or having a partner - a slightly unusual choice but thats just me. (I can already hear people saying 'never say never') Its just that I prefer my possess company and prefer to do my possess thing. In fact the more I look at it I probably would need to aim for a 2 bed flat and receive the income for the 2nd room just to receive by on my income. Any advice is welcome!!!

Voting Question: Real estate investing question. I own 2 rental houses?

outright each one is valued at $100k. I have enough to purchase another property outright, giving me 3 properties and $3300 income per month (every 3 combined). However I want t0o think bigger. What else "real estate wise only" can i do with the 100k to gain a bigger real estate portfolio other than just buying another rental for cash? I am 35 and my goal is 15 properties by the time i am 50, but 20-100 properties would be preferable. however, buying properties outright is a very slow process. thx

Resolved Question: CHEAP, CHEAP CHEAP vacation spots?

My boyfriend and I got invited on a vacation with his best pal's family in June. They have two beach front properties rented out and we were both going to pay $100 a piece to cover the fees. Food and gas would be at our possess expense. (we live in St. Louis, and we're driving to South Carolina) So I figured for the whole week, it would cost us about $400-$500 a piece, considering extra stuff, like water sports, bike rentals, a restaurant or two and shopping. Well we found out today that his pal might not be able to receive off of work, which means we won't be going. My boyfriend suggested that we go somewhere else in case this falls through. I don't want to spend anymore than I had originally planned because two weeks after I receive back, I'm leaving again on my family's vacation. (to the same destination, ironically.) Is there anywhere that we could go that is in a tropical climate for that price? He wants to go out of the country, like the Bahamas. But I told him unless we find a crazy, incredibly cheap package or website, that won't be happening. I've looked on every of the travel sites and have found really affordable trips that include every-inclusive hotel + round trip flight. But none that I can keep up for by June. The cheapest place I've found is Cancun. Even if we went for 3-4 nights, that would be chilly. Any other suggestions though?? @Pirate- You, my pal, are the epitome of the phrase, 'Ignorance is bliss.'

Voting Question: Rental property tax implication with multiple investors?

My brothers and I put our money together and bought a rental property in one of our names. I attended a tax class and the teacher said whoever is on the deed can write off the property tax and interest. If that's true then only one of us can write off that money and the other 2 are stuck with paying 1/3 of the rental income as income with no tax and interest write off. Or can we just fill out schedule E for each of us and put in 1/3 ownership for every the income and expenses even though it is only in one person's name? Please advise, thanks!

I rented my rental unit ti 3 people. a husband and wife and the wifes girlfriend. after a month the roomate moved out then a month later the wife moved out. then bout another month later I went to collect rent and the husband had moved out and moved to kentucky. Everything was left in the home and I have no address on any of them. I moved everything out myselft and listed the property to rent. Its been over a week and havent heard from anyone. I have the items that were left and found out some of the items were from a rent to possess store. My question is do I return the items to the store or keep them or what? I could sue the tenents for the remainder of the lease but if they have nothing then I will receive nothing. so what do I do? Im not gonna look my money out of the tenants. the husband id moved to kentucky and had posted that on facebook. the wife and roommate voljuntarily left the rental and left there things 30 days prior to the husband leaving for kentucky. I would rather have the money from the tenants but the personal property will compensate me. I know for a fact none of the tenants will arrive back for these items. but the rent to possess store wants them back. I will release them when I receive the remainder of the lease.

Open Question: How to account for Cost to manage real estate LLC and non property specific costs?

I am in the process of preparing my income statement for the tax filing for my rental real estate LLC, which owns 5 properties. It is a multimember LLC, so I have to file form 1065 How do I account for expenses that is related to legal/tax filing/administrative task of the LLC or supplies, travel, medical related cost that is not related to any one particular property? Options are: 1. Leave the expense at the corporate level and thus these expense become part of "Ordinary Business Income (Loss)" when it flow through to the member's K-1. 2. Try to allocate the expense evently across to every properties and thus these expense become part of "Net rental real estate income (loss)" when it flow through to the member's K-1. I am leaning toward the allocation method in #2. It is similar to how big multimillion dollar corporation allocate their database, IT, or expenses that are not assigned to a particular division, etc.

Resolved Question: How flexible are move-in dates, if deposit is already paid?

Laugh if you must, but I'm lookin' for some help here: It's after midnight, early in the morning of the day I was scheduled to move to the other side of the state 2 and a 1/2 hours away. Due to circumstances, I would prefer to delay until Monday, as there are no weekend office hours at the apartment complex. Can I call the property manager around the time she's opening up the office and move the date? Or would I potentially lose apartment and/or deposit? I've submitted and been approved on an application, which I paid for in full, and I have my full deposit already in place. I would still be arriving Monday with a money order for first month's rent. I just wouldn't be arriving in town the date we set earlier this week to move-in. Is there a set policy, or does it vary? What have you guys had happen? Also, this is much less important to me than keeping the apartment, but the rental rate was going to be prorated, since I was arriving after the first. Would I still have to pay that amount even if I arrived on a different day or would it be recalculated with three days less rent? That sounds kinda cheap now that I read it, but hey fifty bucks is fifty bucks. :) And I'm not on a strict time limit to vacate my current place because the landlord isn't looking to re-rent at this time.

Resolved Question: Will I really be forced to move out of my rental and is this fair?

I live in Washington State and my two roommates are looking to receive different jobs in another state. Our lease for our current rental expires at the beginning of August of this year. They are planning to travel to another state to do some job interviews and have said, that if they are accepted, they will; move, terminate the current lease agreement, and pay any of the fines for terminating the lease. Here is the section of the lease agreement every three of us signed: "6. BREAKING YOUR LEASE - In order to replace you as the Tenant/ Lessee for the property, you may.........Advertise, show and secure qualified applicant(s) and have them provide us with fully completed application forms with appropriate fee(s). We will then try to qualify the applicant(s) and prepare the paperwork/new lease should they be approved. There is a $100 fee for this lease documentation and you remain fully responsible for the rent and utilities up to the time the new tenant lease takes effect and your security deposit will be refunded - less standard move-out charges and other justified deductions, if any - when the new tenants have executed and returned their property condition check list. OR, you may…vacate the property and we will then advertise and show the property to qualified applicants. The fee for this service is one half of one month’s rent (a minimum of $300). We will qualify the applicants and prepare the paperwork/new lease. IN every CASES YOU REMAIN FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RENT, UTILITIES, AND ADVERTISING COSTS up to the time the new tenants’ pay full security deposit and rent, and the lease takes effect. Your security deposit will be refunded, less move-out charges and advertising costs when the new tenants have executed and returned their property condition check list. Will I be forced to find another place to live; and if so, does this seem fair to do this to me?

Resolved Question: Rental business: dilemma - should I pay my property manager half the rent?

Hi I am a real estate investor. I work with a property manager who manages the buildings for me (only 6 apartments in total - 2 triplexes). he charges half month rent for each tenant he finds/vacancy he fills. One of my units has been vacant for 3 months. By coincidence I just found a tenant for that unit (I met a contractor there for something else and one of my tenants introduced me to his pal who is interested in the vacant unit ) I am considering accepting him. Obviously, if I accept him as a new tenant I have to inform my property manager tell him to cease looking for a tenant. My question is: Should I still pay the property manager half of the rent- what he normally charged for finding a tenant? It's a Dilemma because on one hand he did not find a tenant for a long time on the other hand he did put some effort and perhaps money into advertising it. THANKS

Resolved Question: Facing eviction - Dog crate training issues?

We recently took in a one year old lab who's previous owner abandoned him and left town. A neighbor called us and we decided to adopt him. After we got him back up to a healthy weight and he started getting sociable (about three months) he started crying / whining whenever we leave the home, to the point where we can be several houses away and still hear him and people have started complaining. He's also started destroying things in our home and scratching the paint off the front door of the home when we're gone. Faced with eviction due to complaints and damage to our rental property, we purchased a box. Since we didn't do much research first and we're on our last warning with the landlords about the damage to the walls and door, we forced him into it the first couple of days when we had to leave the home. That didn't help the crying, but it did solve the damage issue. Since then we've found out that's not the correct way to do things (we're first time dog owners), we're trying to do things properly. We've got the cage open with his favorite toys and his food and water in the back of it, and he hasn't eaten or drank anything every day because he won't go close it. Yesterday my wife gave up and moved his food and water outside the box, but we've been advised that he'll go in it when he gets hungry enough and to stick to our guns. This has got us both feeling terrible, but everyone we've talked to swears dogs won't starve themselves and to keep with it or he'll learn he can go hungry long enough and we'll back down. How do we undo the damage here? If we don't receive this resolved and receive him to quit crying, which was the purpose of the box originally, trying to give him his possess place where he feels safe to lower his anxiety, we're homeless on 02/28. Either that, or we have to give up the dog to the pound as nobody else will take him, and I'm fairly confident as overpopulated as the animal shelters in Phoenix are that he'll be put down. There are two specific questions here: How do we receive him to like the box? He won't go in it, or close it. Its in the middle of the home and he gives it a wide berth, to the point of not eating to avoid it. I think he's mad at us, because he's become more destructive since we've started this. How do we cease the crying? Protecting the home and getting kicked out anyways isn't going to help much.

Resolved Question: As a visiting tourist what organisations can I complain to in Austrailia (NSW) about rental accommodation?

I am currently travelling in Sydney Austrailia and have booked an apartment for one month. After moving in I have realised the property has a shower with a serious leak to the point of flooding the bedroom and has been completely misrepresented in the way it has been presented. I wish to claim my money back and move out immediately as the property is not fit to live in. The landlord/agent is not being cooperative. Can you give me some information about what rights I have as a tourist over here in going about this?

Voting Question: Is a flat or house best to buy to let?

I am considering buying a property to let for rental income? I am wondering is it better to buy a home or flat? I could potentially buy two one bedroom flats ( anticipate a rental income of £600pm each flat) or buy a three bedroom home (approx. £1200pm income). But I am not sure which is more ‘marketable’? Also do people think it I more beneficial to receive a management company to run it? I don’t have any experience of being a landlord but I probably could locate the required people (plumbers, handymen etc) if need be.

Voting Question: working and not getting paid.?

I know someone who lives on the property. collects every the rent and sends the money to the owner. Also, this person pays for the utilities out her possess pocket. This person has done this for 48 months. She has never been paid or reimbursed for approx. $60,000. She was responsible for advertising, doing contracts for the 4 rental apartments and also the home as well. She is trying to receive the owner to sit down and do a rent with option to buy. She has put aside 4 months of the rent waiting for the owner to arrive for and appt to negoitiate the option of buying. The owner then sent out a 3 day eviction notice and is stating that my pal is a tenant on the property which she generated over 100,000.00 in income and also paid over $40,000.00 in utilities and repairs of her possess money. I believe that the income taxes haven't been paid in the income she sent the owner either. She spent 5,000.00 on a new hot water heater and furnace as well. What can she do ?...

I live in Brisbane, QLD. I live with 3 other roommates (plus myself), renting a property. We every pay equal rent, and are every on the lease. One of my roommates constantly invites over one of his friends who is quite a shady character. Me and one of my other roommates constantly tell him to not invite the person over, but he does it any way. The 4th roommates remains neutral in the entire thing.

What's the go?

Voting Question: How do I write off HELOC money lost on a bad property investment?

In 2004 I got a HELOC on my rental home and used the money to invest in other properties with other people. Those other properties have since gone underwater and were sold at a complete loss. I had 28k invested and the home lost 100k in total, so I got zero money back. Basically I need to know how I can write off the loss on my taxes. The property we purchased was a foreclosure, every-cash purchase. The ideas was to fix it up and sell for profit. We sold for loss. I only have the closing statement and the Quickbooks accounting of the home.

Voting Question: What to do about brother in law's seemingly paranoia personality disorder?

I have a brother in law that we believe is suffering from Paranoia Personality Disorder. First...I am NOT a medical professional and I do not CLAIM to know what is wrong with him. I have searched the internet about his symptoms and came to my possess conclusion, so please do not scold me for making this claim. I want help in how to receive him to a professional for evaluation. Let me give you the details: He is 53 years old and has had diabetes for the past 10 years, although he doesn't believe he has it. When he goes to the doctor for blood tests, he claims that the labs are falsifying his records to support the pharmaceutical company that give them commissions (he goes to a hospital for the tests). He walks everyday about 5 miles. He has high blood pressure, but we believe that this is because he somehow feels that he needs to take about 14 - 16 Tylenol icy Medicine tablets each day. He is married and has 4 kids, ranging from 4 years old to 14 years old. He doesn't work in a traditional manner, his income comes from the many rental properties he owns. For the past 4 - 5 years he has slowly withdrawn himself from nearly every social situations and is currently paranoid that his brothers are somehow going to "steal" his inheritance. At first, we thought is was just overly greedy, but for the past year he is increasingly and increasingly throwing accusations about everyone. He was nearly arrested because the store asked him to check in his bag before going into the store and he thought they were trying to accuse him of stealing. He refused and it was a 2 day ordeal involving the whole family with the manager of the store. The manager apologized and apologized for any misunderstanding and asked if there was anything that he could do to make the situation right. My husband had bought a new TV at the same store 3 days prior and the brother in law accused us of "taking" the TV from his situation and demanded that we give him the TV. We had to show him the reciept that the 2 instances were not related. He still doesn't believe that we bought the TV. Yesterday he threw his wife out and her clothes on the road accusing her of infidelity, although they are together practically 24 hours a day. My sister in law hardly ever leaves the home, only to visit her parents. When he takes his son with him on errands, he frisks and pats down his 14 year old son to make sure he hasn't any weapons because he thinks people are going to kill him for his property and money. He carries knives in his pockets and in the trunk of his car, claiming that he thinks people are out "to receive him". The list is endless. Now my problem...he will NEVER agree to go to a mental health physician for an evaluation. He's impossible to talk to and when you try to open the subject, he becomes violent. We are now getting concerned about his family and kids. Yesterday, he kept pointing the remote at the refrigerator trying to change the channel on the TV and accused the family of sabotaging the TV so he can't watch what he wants. How do we receive him evaluated and receive him help? One person suggested that we invite a doctor to our home and invite the brother in law over for dinner and let the doctor evaluate him in an unthreatening manner. My husband is the only one left in the extended family that he "semi" trusts. He believes that every of his brothers, wife and sister in laws are out to make him look crazy and/or "receive rid of him" for inheritance property. Truthfully, he doesn't have any more inheritance than anyone else in the family. His behavior is really troubling and we are worried about him driving and his family because of the rage and paranoia fits he goes through daily. Please help us figure out a way to receive him evaluated and ultimately treated. Please give us ideas on how to receive him evaluated without him freaking out! That's what I'm asking for here. Thanks every.

Voting Question: are they allowed to do this?? confused!?

I moved into a rental property in november 2011, paying the agent £150 admin fee, plus first month rent upfront the agent agreed to let me pay off the depsoit of £550 over 5 months of £100 per month but as I was waiting on a tax refund of the emergancy tax that was taxed from my wages, I agreed with him I would pay it in full when I received the refund. I have kept the letting agent updated by email in regards to the outstanding £550 but have continied to pay full rent each month as normall, as the new year aproached I had came into some difficulty due to an underpay mistake with my wages at work so jan rent is still outstanding, I then sent an email to the agent to let them know the outsanding rent for jan and depsoit money would be paid this week when I receive it in my account, The agent turned up at the property today at 7pm to let me know that they were now taking legal action to evict me for 2 months rent arrear's This was a shock to me as I had spoken previously to them and they seemed quite understanding, I do not owe 2 months rent an only owe januarys rent. He explained that they toolk december's rent as the deposit as It was still outstanding but had already agreed to pay with my tax Refund in feb so he basically took my rent and is now saying I am in arrears by 2 months so they can now take legal action! Can they do this surely if it was paid as rent and I receive a reciept to say it was rent they cannot then say they took it as a deposit can they?. I have a number of emails to show there was an agreement made between myself and the payments deparment that I would pay thr depsoit when I received my tax refund He then went on to say that they are only allowed a certain time to pay the desposit for the property that's why they took my rent as a deposoit Please can someone shed some light on this I'm sooo confused and I really don't want to receive evicted.

Resolved Question: My x's Mother keeps sending me harassing and threatening texts?

I called the police on my X after he punched several holes in my walls (in a rental home) , broke a lamp, fan, my son's computer monitor and a $500 phone and took off with our 7 year old son after trying to run me down in the driveway. They stopped him and retrieved my son. This is the 4th time I have had to call the police, previously it was for death threats, stalking and physical violence against me. I kept taking him back because I felt sorry for him. I will not ever do that again. He has things at my home and his Mom wants to search my home while he is in jail.threatening she is going to go to the police and show them emails I sent him 2 years ago and they will let her search my home? She keeps sending me long harassing texts while she is drunk and it is scaring me. Also, I'm not sure what to do with the property. I'm scared she will arrive over and start claiming everything is his like my TV and Playstation.

Resolved Question: Will the NEW Housing Plan Presented This Morning by Mr. Obama Solve the Housing Problem?

Mr. Obama called on Congress to take Action on his Plan to Solve the Housing Crisis, which he will gift to them Sometime Next Week. The main points of the Plan, (these were the points I jotted down, not quotes, but as close as I could receive): 1) Require Banks to Re-Fi people who are "upside-down" on their Mortgages without charging normal closing and Re-Fi Fees to allow them to lower their Payments. (no mention of what to do about the Amount they OWE over the Value of the Home-"upside-down") 2) Eliminate the Red Tape by Lenders on Re-Financing. 3) cease the "Abuses" toward responsible home-owners by Lenders. 4) Turn Foreclosed homes into Rentals to receive rid of the "FOR SALE" signs that "bring down property values" in our neighborhoods. 5) Make sure people who lose their jobs - don't lose their homes. 6) gift a "Home-Owners Bill of Rights" --a) No hidden fees --b) No runaround when you call about your loan --c) No fine print --d) New safeguards to PREVENT Foreclosures due to "a run of bad luck --e) Require simplified purchase form to buyers (1 page) 7) Charge a FEE to banks to Pay for this New Plan, so that we don't go further in debt. That is his Plan. I won't go into my Thoughts and Interpretation of every of this, yet. What I really would like to know is What You every Think of It, either way, Left or Right. Thanks in Advance for your Civility to each other with your Answers.

Resolved Question: Would you rent to someone with a recent misdemeanor?

I have a couple who applied for my rental property. They were hesitant for the lady to apply and initially did not submit her application. I reminded them that I needed an application from both of them. They are boyfriend and girlfriend. Just got the background check back and learned that the women has 2 OWI, one was from 6 months ago and she did 2 months in jail. The previous one was in another state. The man could not afford the unit alone (based on my criteria). Together they make enough to afford, but I am concerned about her recent OWI and unsure if I should take a chance on them. I am thinking of offering only a month to month lease or denying the application altogether.
