It's not about being the bad guy, the mom has the power and the son is there to support her. Dave knows what he is saying.

If Mom is the owner, he has to represent himself as being designated by her. "Man Up" is not an answer here and they could easily say what he says doesn't matter because he is not the owner.

It’s mom house so he also has no say. It’s what she says.

They can call her lawyer and argue with the lawyer.

@@ravageawakened But will they? Guy gave them impression they will not make this easy and I bet they call the 83 year old mom vs the lawyer.

This is true. I tried asking my aunt for money because I was bad with money and she refused to enable me. I bit the bullet and applied for a second full-time job to work weekends on and I dug myself out of debt by working 68 hours a week, Sunday through Sunday (you read that right), and I was able to dig myself out of debt a lot faster that way.

Nope, they will then try to say that they were given a choice to stay if they didn't accept. They deserve nothing but the boot at this point.

The incentive could be a good idea, and cheaper than a drawn out process.

right. The sole survivorship is a cut and dry clause in a contract. Uncle agreed to it at the time when he signed it. So no matter how entitled they feel. This isn't a negotiation because they have no legal legs on which to stand.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

This

@i-mm-o res the uncle gave the old gal the right to take it back when he died. So now it is hers.

@i-mm-o res yes they bought it together but legally it was always clear that the person who dies looses right to it. Nobody else from family can claim it.

Looks like when the mother dies or sells it will be a legal battle and dave is dumb The dad of the cousin didnt leave his child the house but then left to his sister? Thats a longer story than that

Exactly what I was think just sell it to them

20% under retail is more fair.. no RE fees, inspection, escrow, ect.. and having to clean and renovate house

A house occupied by renters, even if they pay regularly is devalued compared to a free house. At least in Italy it is so.

@@paolaristori6179 Here in the US, I've seen homes only sell slightly less, and it's because of the potential risks to the buyer when purchasing a tenant occupied home, but it's no where near the amount of money they're losing by allowing their relatives to live there rent free for years.

A smart person isn’t going to close the deal on purchasing a home while there are tenants in it unless there’s a clear agreement on how the tenants will be dealt with. As in, they will be out before closing or they sign a lease agreeing to be out by a certain date. You do a walkthrough inspection before closing and accept the property as is (including with tenants) or you back out because the tenants are still in the home.

after someone establishes a domicile then you need to go through the process to evict them, it does not matter if they are paying rent or not.

He’s not evicting them since they never lawfully rented it. If you take an item from the store without paying, no sales contract, the shop owner can take that item from you without involving authorities or anyone.

those were his wishes this is why wills exist maybe his kids werent good to him

I’m betting he set it up so they don’t get anything on purpose. They sound like asshole kids taking advantage of whatever they can from family

Even better, no friends and family.

Jesus said, "Be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."

Some places that's illegal.

@@Excalibur2 well, coincidences happen. Let's not forget they live there illegally also.

His mom, dad and uncle combined to buy the house, with ownership passing onto the survivors when any of them died. If his mom & dad paid 2/3 and the uncle paid 1/3, it's not like she just swooped in and took the house.

What makes u think they have the money

Yes like he's not being clear. I felt like they wasn't paying rent but then they were. Idk what's the issue.

Most buyers will want the house empty before they're willing to close on it...... Unless they buy it as a rental and is proof that the rent has been paid in a timely manner

I'm just going to guess, but I'm going to say two reasons. First, there's probably improvements or repairs that need to be made before listing the house in order to profit. Second, the caller has zero faith they're going to leave. If he were closing and they weren't out the whole thing would probably fall through and he/his mom might be on the hook for some hefty fees.

@@paulhathaway5907 That’s what I meant, gone by the time of the buyer’s walk through. The issue is whether they are interfering with the real estate agent, by refusing to leave during open houses or not keeping the property clean.

The new buyers aren’t going to be interested in having to evict some squatters before they can move in

@@rachelharrison7961 It is easier to sell an empty house than one that is occupied (and one will usually get a higher offer from the buyer). Trying to sell a house with renters in it is a pain and I don't recommend it even if the renters are cooperative. Even if the renters are OK with the landlord selling (they usually are not), the renters have to keep the place immaculate (that will not happen-- they have no motivation to do so), try to schedule showings with both the renters and the potential buyers, renters have to leave for showings, and so on. Finally, some jurisdictions allow the renters to stay through there contract, or the renters may not move out-- meaning that the buyers will either not agree to close or they will have to deal with the time and costs of an eviction.

There is no such thing as "no other place to go".

@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Wrong. There is.

@@jimmymcgill6778 Nope. There are plenty of bridges in the USA with nobody living under them.
