So I was buying repair items for my rental at Home Depot and I forgot and used my personal debit card...is there a simple way of expensing the items and paying for them out of the business account AFTER the fact?  There's got to be a way! Thanks in advance. (yes, I will check with my tax professional also)

I'm trying to streamline the app process for my tenants (and me).  Thanks!

I've been marketing my rental thru rent redi-they charge a $49.99 fee per application.  It looks like Zillow charges a one time $35 fee for RENTERS to apply to ANY zillow rental.  Anyone have thoughts on how to get not just interest, but actual APPLICATIONS? i have a ton of inquiries, but only one application thru rent redi.  I think its because no one wants to pay $50 PER unit to apply for a rent house.

I like that arrangement...builds longevity between you and your client.-I'll ask my realtor...he indicated that he wanted me to use his marketing and or prop management services (1xmo rent).  I'm sure he's good-been working with him for a while...but I want to handle all leasing/mgmt transactions.

 Unless the REALTOR is listing and managing your rental, the use of the TAR is still verboten correct? I'd do it in a heartbeat for $50.

Follow up on the final outcome-

Seller doubtfully would have breached the contract in the end...he is a contractor/investor and just plays hard.  Transaction went smoothly-Seller agreed to repair AC and give a warranty, and seller's agent gave a concession for the cleanout and I bought it.  Now on to leasing! Thanks all!

Hi-

Anyone willing to share their actual modified lease contract? looks like most people use the TAR boilerplate contract.  Can I simply redact all references to TAR but use the same verbage if i'm not a realtor? Also, what do you add or emphasize with your renters?  Thanks in advance!

good point. His realtor (brother, family member?) should have just denied the request. no further comments to us (buyer/agent). 

 Who ever said it was a couple hundred dollars? What lesson learned? 

He's contractually obligated to sell-my point is if he tries to break the contract, what then? (assuming I still want to buy as is)
