I negotiated a leasing agreement for a friend and the leasing company were very firm on all the components of the contract (no tenant improvement provided, no change to nnn) but were willing to be flexible on free rent with rent + extra rent to essentially try to get back as much money possible across the whole 5 year lease rather than up front (in order to get more free rent we upped our offer for 3 years to 5).

It’s just seems that getting my license aligns with my goals as an investor and a great way to learn the ins and outs of the buy sell process.

I'd love the Alaskans to chime in on Alaska - but also want to get some outsiders perspectives - I don't think we'll ever be San Fran / Seattle sized... but we have some interesting components - as the states one true hub.

To put a language in the lease agreement to bind the tenants to pay the outstanding rents and/or repair cost to put the property back to the condition as same as the time of move in.I am well aware that Choosing a "performing" tenant is a key component to maximize ROI.

CapEx depends on the condition of the major components of the property. 

Another big component for me would be the owner-occupancy covenant with the City (as we have here in Santa Barbara).

There are many components of a property where it makes sense to go with a more expensive option that will last longer or have a better warranty period.

Which do you have more aligned goals with? 

He is correct there is a massive delay in the shelter component but if you annualize the last 6mo MoM CPI numbers it is 1.9%.

And I hear you on the cash-flow after moving too, so I'm glad my mentality was aligned with yours as I considered FHA instead if I have to go that route.Quick follow-up, if you'd indulge me: the attractiveness of my offer.
