I would normally advertise 15+ residential rentals marketed at this time of year.

And normally, the lawyer will help draft the operating agreement or partnership agreement.  

Although things could be a little different for me in the Midwest I do this same thing with a cheap rate and monthly discounts and my income is 1.5-2 times the amount I would normally get renting the units out long term.

MLS, it had been on the market longer than normal so I asked them to bring the price down.

Option 1 is normal closing time but a low price - low enough to compensate you for the extra 5-6 months of delay.

But if your neighborhood has lots of garage conversions, then that would lead me to believe you don't need that garage and that it's normal practice to convert the garage.  

Take him through a normal 20 year Stock market cycle of ups and downs. 

Anyhow, I walked away, got in my car, and went to the store.  

I am claiming that these were normal wear and tear and potentially from tenants before- which would not have been detected during move in.

I have read other posts but they all seem to be 1-3+ years old and I know things change, is this something that is normal or should I walk away.
