I am curious - do you need cause to not renew a lease with someone once their term is up? Is retaliation a thing in this instance? Isn't it simply no-fault once the lease is complete?

Did you go under contract assuming the downstairs bedrooms were conforming? Was it not disclosed in the listing that the bedrooms were non-conforming?

Look under the Tools menu at the top of the page - https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Something like that?

Are you still working for the company you had the 401k with? If you still work there you can borrow against the 401k up to certain limits. If you no longer work at the company where you had the 401k and want to access that money to continue investing you can do that. I moved my old 401k to a self directed IRA using this company. https://www.vantageiras.com/ You can then uses this self directed IRA for approved investments (cannot be used for personal use, like buying a house for yourself or family, etc, that company can help with those questions). Good luck. 

I'm not saying I'd leave it sitting in the driveway. I'm asking if anyone has tried this. Maybe you could offer a discount on the car to someone who stays with you AND rents the car. Just wondering if it has been done and if so any successful strategies,

I like the idea but I think the noise would be problematic (as others have mentioned). I live about 1/4 mile from a rec center with about 30 pickle ball courts. When I am up early in the morning (6 AM) and go outside I can hear the play while in my front yard (no noise at all in the house). I can hear nothing during the later hours of the day because the ambient noise level is much louder. But I could see living directly adjacent to a court being a problem. Also, sounds like cost is an issue from some of the posts.

Hey All - just wondered if anyone here has tried adding a car to lease as an option with their STR. I have been looking at Turo, but know there are others. Just wondering if anyone has tried this and what success, if any, they have had.

Why not approach the properties directly. Stop on by, meet the owners, and gauge their interest. 

I think I look at this in a different way (maybe I don't know the definition of exclusivity, but sounds like he can't work with another agent). How does the OP know if this agent is any good or not? They met at a networking event. Why would the OP tie himself down to an exclusivity agreement. If the agent brings him a good deal he will buy, this does not require an exclusivity agreement. Is the agent only working for the OP exclusively, no, seems to be a one way street to me. If the OP doesn't like the deal the agent can take it to someone else. But as I said, maybe I don't know the nuances of what the exclusivity agreement entails.
