Yes, that does sound like good advice. We will start researching for an international adoption attorney. We are currently in the Philippines and will return to CA on Monday. We are gathering papers like her birth certificate and any others we can think of so we will have them with us back in the...

We want to adopt our, soon to be 16-year-old niece, from the Philippines. She is from a broken family with 4 sisters and a single un-employed mom. The mother has made some poor life decisions over the last 18 years, going to different countries, getting pregnant by different fathers and the kids...

Just the info I needed. I've taken a quick look through the websites and found some relevant info. I will print out the important stuff and present it to him. I do see that these types of farm animals are considered domestic but don't see anything on limits to the number of them. I don't...

I believe my dad is competent, it's just he is easily persuaded. Concerning late rents, I would always present him with documentation, photos, screen shots and court records that show the tenant is not being honest about not having the rent. I suggested to evict, and he would agree with me. Two...

What is the name of your state? CA. My 94 year old father has a rental in a rural area in Northen CA. Small house on 1 acre. The tenant has been somewhat of a problem for a few years, (late on rent, not honest about it, buying a brand-new car, etc...) My sister has been doing 95% of the...

This seems to apply to a mechanic shop. As in, brakes, engines, electrical. That's not me. I would categorize it as Vintage car restoration. No mechanic shop is going to cut out rusty panels and weld in new ones.

Yes, I've heard of that. I tried one in the beginning. Tried it again just now. The problem is, they only go back to 2000 or 1990. Also, they cover auto repair shops like, brakes, engines, transmissions, electrical. Or, fender, bumper, hood replacement. Nothing related to panel replacement from...

Yes, the owner did say she would pay $2000 of the $3000+ owed. I feel like the "super deal" on pricing was more than enough to make this go smoothly. Before she bought the car, I told her, no, I don't want to do it and if she buys it, find a restorations shop. She still bought the car, sight...

What is the name of your state? CA. I've been restoring cars for many years, mainly my own cars, then sell some of them. Everything on a car except upholstery. I have a business license and sellers permit so I can buy cars at auction. So, a family member bought an old VW, sight unseen and...

We've never seen the house in person but did get an inspection before purchase. The PM has $500 on deposit to cover any expenses or repairs and we refill it when needed. But, if it's more than a certain amount, they will contact us. They did not with the stove and the on-boarding person said...

When I first saw the $408 (+ 10% charge) for the stove, I asked my contractor (doing rehabs for 10 or 15 years in MS), if this is normal. His response, "Never". Plus, the 2 permits pulled on this house were each $40 and not the $150 the PM is charging for. The permit that they are unable to...

Yes, you are correct. We're in CA but this is a new house in Mississippi. So, new rehab, new appliances and new tenant.

My new PM is telling me something I've never heard of. I rehab a newly purchased house, they found a tenant, I had new appliances installed and the tenant didn't know how to turn on the new stove. He called the PM and the crazy story begins. I was charged a total of $450 for them to go out to...

Update: I contacted my insurance again and pushed them that I had liability and that all the advice I received was to go back to them. Our agent confirmed that the claim was moved to the legal department and gave me a number. Later that day, an insurance appointed lawyer called me and is...

OK, I like this response. I forwarded the paperwork to my insurance agent and no response yet. Tomorrow, I will start pushing till I get to the CEO of the company.
