Brian ARGAIN: Yeah.  I talked to uh…I actually talked to our manager.  He said  that…

Scott PETERSON: Oh, about the house?

Scott PETERSON: Oh, yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: And see what um…because what might end up happening you might have to…you’re both on the title, right?

Scott PETERSON: Yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: Okay.  What you might have to do is you might have to end up getting some sort of a court approval.

Scott PETERSON: Oh, yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: Um…because it’s kind of tough to do.

Scott PETERSON: Yeah, I figured that.

Brian ARGAIN: You know what I mean?

Scott PETERSON: Yeah, yeah, I understand that.  Uh…I’m glad you’re not using the words that…yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: So, I mean that’s basically where you’re at.  I don’t know how simple or how hard that would be.

Scott PETERSON: Yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: Um…your attorney would probably know, I would think.

Scott PETERSON: Okay.

Brian ARGAIN: Uh…so that’s kinda where we’re at with that.  If you want to… Do you want to talk to your attorney and give me a call or what?

Brian ARGAIN: Okay.  Whenever.  Obviously it’s around your schedule.  I’m just trying to help out so whatever I can do.

Scott PETERSON: Appreciate it.  Thanks, brain.

Brian ARGAIN: Sound good?

Scott PETERSON: Yeah, definitely.

Brian ARGAIN: All right, brother.

Scott PETERSON: All right.

Brian ARGAIN: Okay.

Scott PETERSON: Hey, what about renting it?

Brian ARGAIN: Uh…as far as renting it, that’s…that’s pretty simple to do.

Scott PETERSON: Yeah.  What…what kind of a lease could I expect out of it?

Brian ARGAIN: Well, I basically would just have to uh…you wouldn’t want anything to do with it, right, as far as being a landlord?

Scott PETERSON: I don’t think so.

Brian ARGAIN: Because what I could do is I cant talk to our uh…property management group.

Scott PETERSON: Yeah.

Brian ARGAIN: And they can…they’re actually pretty reasonable.  And what they can do is they can…in fact Renee just rented her house out.  It’s pretty simple because they do all, you know, the advertising, they do all the screening of people and all the crap that goes along with renting basically.

Scott PETERSON: Great.

Brian ARGAIN: And uh…so they..they basically handle everything for you.

Scott PETERSON: Right.  That might be a good option.

Brian ARGAIN: Yeah.  I mean that might be the best thing to do at this point.

Scott PETERSON: Yeah.
