Success after IF

NBR-if you were buying a house what would you think of this:

Okay so let's say you are looking to buy a house.   You see one you like and decide you want to make an offer.   The owner says, "okay I'll accept your bid, but you have to let me live here as a tenant".  

This is what my BIL (DH very WEIRD brother) wants to do.   They are twins and I really lucked out that I ended up with DH and not his brother.  He is a strange person in a lot of ways.  

Anyway.  He is lookng to sell his house and here are 2 of the latest ideas he came up with.

1.  Sell to someone and tell the new owners that they can have the house, but only if they let him (BIL) and his wife live there as tenants in the basement apt. 

"house for sale.  4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, oh and a 42 yr old man and his 40 yr old wife come with it too"

2.  Um rent out the whole house, but live in an RV on the property.  This is so he can keep an eye on the tenants and make sure they don;t trash the house.  

  The property is teeny tiny.  There is no WAY an RV would even fit on it.

  • I hope my baby doesn;t inherit my BIL's weirdness.

  • Honestly what I would think is there are a million other houses out there on the market without a weird guy....I'd move on to something else.

  • I think I would have to pass on that house! As cool as it is that it comes with two humans as an added bonus, I think I just might keep lookingStick out tongue

  • Ok, I would DEFINETLY NOT buy or rent a house from them. That is just crazy!

  • That would be super weird.  I've heard of renting back after the sale for a specific amount of time, but not indefinitely!  You're BIL is crazy if he thinks, in this market, that buyers are going to go for that.  There are a million houses out there that don't come with 2 other people living there.

  • I totally agree with all of you!  If it were me, I'd say "See ya!"  and keep looking.

  • Plus if it were my DH with that "brilliant" idea, I'd laugh my a$$ off at him.  Unfortunatley his wife (My SIL) is very very submissive and has no mouth.

  • I've seen situations like this where there is some sort of a time line attached where they rent the house back.  Like for 2 weeks or a month, do to a specific situation but nothing so open ended.  Strange.
  • Oh dear. Why wouldn't your BIL and his wife just find another basement apartment to rent somewhere? Or does he want it rent-free??

  • Ha..ha!!! And he's come up with this idea in a buyer's market, no less! He's pretty darn confident that someone will be desperate to buy his house with under those conditions...when there are probably 40 other houses in the market at the same price with no strange people in the basement. It gives new meaning to "don't go in the basement"..ha..ha.
