I recently switched my investment strategy to buy&hold so i'm still ironing out details but. passing alot of these responsibilities over to the tenant makes great sense and is one of the reasons why single fam rentals will continue to be my focus.Jon,Really appreciate the lease verbiage.

I enjoy the negotiation of the deals the most, ironically, so the more transactions I can do, more fun for me.

motivate' seminar attendees to "be their own boss", "escape the rat race", and "take control of their life" (with requisite slideshow of people enjoying leisure activities that YOU TOO can enjoy) all while belittling those who (ironically) choose the path of fiscal responsibility.Do they parade cardboard cutouts of the pretty faces from the teevee shows on the stage while the excessively tanned guy with pretty hair does his best Glengarry Glen Ross and tells you what a loser you are if you don't fork over the 40k?

Account Closed go ahead and get the extra large one.. you will need that if you like to cook multiple slabs of ribs at the same time I have a regular and its OK for the two of us.. but grill gets crowded if I need to cook for a whole bunch... enjoy its a super BBQ Weaponj.

You know how to have an iron clad agreement?

Look for old HVACs, roofs, water heaters, cast iron plumbing, bad foundations etc.

If you start seeing people feed themselves while you are only left with some scraps, it's easy to start developing an iron-clad way of doing things. 

Now I have to have a sitdown with this potential and try to iron it out in order to seal this deal!

.* We get as close as possible to ironing/feeling out deal terms that would be agreeable to the seller in advance of submitting an offer, including site visits if they are located in the same market we are vs. out of state/market.All of the above data provides us with enough of an analysis to know what our deal parameters are going to be, at least to within a few percentage points.

Now, if you have an "iron clad prenuptial agreement"...ok, I don't know on those (you would have to go to court)...but in just about every other scenario, spouses have rights to the primary home.
