@Brian Van Pelt

I've read several lease agreements but never any wills haha. All the lease agreements iv gone over have been for an entire house not a single room.

As a hole what I'm hearing from you is more clearly Define who is providing a room to rent (Daniel Jewell) and who is renting said room (John Doe) ?

When I defined them do I need to clearly defined them every single time or just once in the beginning is enough as long as I'm using consistent language from there on?

I'm just trying to house hack, a lease to share agreement. I haven't been able to necessarily find very much that is clearly defined as a share agreement to go on so here I am having a go :)

The main reason why I'm here on BiggerPockets is I'm trying to learn something. I don't always want to go to a lawyer or just grab a random predone piece of paper unless I completely understand it. I'm not going to understand any kind of document beyond the laymen unless I can produce something of note myself. And I don't want to shell out a couple hundred or thousand dollars on something when I could just know what is right and what is not.

This is my first attempt at a lease to share agreement. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions as far as wording or additions to this lease? also wondering about the rules, I guess as a whole, what do you think?

Lease to share

Daniel Jewel is leasing a bedroom with shared use of the common areas of the house and grounds at 191 Dunn Glory Dr. Rochell, VA 22738 to ________________. Daniel Jewel will occupy one of the remaining two bedrooms. Rent is $550 per month with a $550 security deposit, rent, and security deposit due at signing of this document.

Rent is due on the 1st of the month if rent is not received on or before 12:00 pm (Noon) on the 3rd day of the month a late fee of $50 per day will be charged until that month's rent and fees is received.

If the rent and late fees are not paid after 10 days this will result in the loss of the security deposit. At this point, the landlord will proceed to terminate the lease and obtain possession of the leased area.

Initialing here verifies that you understand and agree to the above conditions ______.  

This is a month-to-month lease, either party may terminate the lease at any time. After termination of the lease the non-owner must vacate the premises prior to the due date of next months rent date, if this requirement is not met they will be charged for the next month's rent.

If a termination notice is given then the $500 security deposit if not surrendered due to prior violations outlined in this document. then it will be returned to the tenant AFTER premises has been vacated and inspected by the landlord.  If the tenant gives notice of terminating the contract, then decides to renew the lease the following month, then an additional $500 security deposit will be required upon signing a new lease agreement.

Normal use of utilities (water, internet, electricity, sewer, trash,) are included in the monthly rent, any extraneous use outside if normal will result in the tenant responsible for paying the difference in cost.

Use if the yard is aloud but any major changes require written confirmation (text, email) from the landlord.

Post: BiggerPockets podcast evolutions

So I started out listening to BiggerPockets podcast from newest to oldest. The podcast was good and brought a ton of value and started to teach me to lingo, do's and don'ts but for reasons that I'm not going to get into my phone and my accounts were all erased on accident :/... I lost my place,

I only had about 100 left so I just flip-flopped go from oldest to newest. the amount of value the earliest podcasts bring is crazy! especially for me, I don't know what it's like for other more experienced investors but the first 30 I'm really really a big fan of.

Does anybody else have a favorite podcast or a particular time in which you thought they were really getting in a good Groove not that they aren't already haha

Hey everyone! I've been trying to find a Meetup that is in an area that is convenient for me to frequent. I'm living in my first deal (in Charlottesville va, work in Manassas va) while I wait for the HUD contract to run out. So in the meantime I'd like to start developing contacts and actually talk to people that want to talk real estate haha

So being that I have about a 70-mile commute does anybody know of a real estate meetings in Manassas Culpeper Warrenton or Charlottesville that would be good for a new investor?

So I work in developmental Robotics and I am just generically familiar with up-and-coming Technologies and whatnot.

I found this camera that takes multiple 360 photos of a space. you to basically do a walk-through kind of like Google street view. Show a property without being there And the neighborhood.

There's also the drones that can take high resolution pictures of Landscapes and surrounding areas.

if anybody was to be approached by somebody that was selling these services, what would you be willing to pay or would you even be willing to pay for a 360 rendering of your house?

I just been thinking about it the past few days and was wondering what other people in the real estate business thought

@Jason D. I like free. Going off what you said about treating them like any other tenant that would mean I would have a lease agreement, or a least to share.

is there any weird wording that I should put into that lease? apart from just generic House Rules and obvious things like hey pay your rent no drugs blah blah blah
