I'll jump in - letting my contractor do complete renovations on T&M and not giving a bid, said my jobs were "too big to bid" - 3 month renovation took 4.5 months and a 2 month renovation took just under 4 months. Lesson learned, never again! 

Yes you should receive an end of year statement (1098) for any interest payments made if it is from an lending institution, now if it was private money that may be a different story if they - not if they should.

Ok @Joe Splitrock - now that's funny, love it!

 Hey Zack, all is well and happy holidays sir - reminds me I need to email you and ask you about something I read/saw about holding time/seasoning periods and get your professional opinion.

@Sergiu Micula I also recommend @Zack Karp for conventional mortgages, he and his team are top notch and definately investor friendly, I've used them many times and have always been happy with their services.

Of course, if there is anything else you need of have questions about don't hesitate to ask, we are not that far apart from each other. 

@Sergiu Micula welcome and best of luck with your REI endeavor, I also second the vote for @Joe Mueller he is a wealth of information and an invaluable resource as well as he has his hands in many aspects of real estate investing. Check out his meetings, learn what you can there and on here and jump into the pool.

 I second the vote for @Joe Mueller - stand up guy with a wealth of knowledge and has his hands in may facets of REI.

@Jon K. I agree with @Max T. - pu the offer in as your name and "closing entity TBD" and you are covered. My HML lender uses that verbiage in my POF letters and I've never had a issue with it at all.

@Christina Martinez correct you can not change the terms of the lease but I do caution you that IF you end up taking the matter to court do not to ask for the daily late fee or be prepared to get spanked by the judge, verbally that is =)
