My entitled brother rents my home and then for over 18 months refuses to pay any rent. And once I tell him that he needs to get out of my house and move on, he freaks out on me and says that I'm going back on our deal. So now I feel very frustrated and angry and at this point I seriously don't know what to do. Here's what happened. Okay, so my brother is an outgoing, likable guy, but sticking to things,

And we give him 18 months to build up his

business and his credit and purchase from us when he's ready. And we agreed to take the total of

his rent as his down payment. We agreed that any improvements or maintenance would come out of

his budget, just as if he already owned the house. But we would give him credit towards the purchase
