090427 - talked to his cardiologist, and got an okay for Richard to make the

090440 - property.  A year ago or thereabouts, he tried to sell the house to
090441 - pay for medical expenses, but the best offer was only $100K, so he
090442 - decided to hold the property until the market comes back.
090444 -  ..
090445 - He is also considering engaging a real estate agent to rent the
090446 - property as a way to get income or at least pay the taxes, and to
090447 - maintain the property.  Rental property presents costs of repairs,
090448 - bill collection, eviction, etc.
