Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

I have a 3-step process I put them through before we actually agree to work together. 

That violates the Takings Clause.MD can be distinguished (in fact MD was mentioned in the decision) in that there IS a process on the books for the foreclosed owner to petition the court for the surplus. 

It’s great that you’re being thoughtful about the process!

@Alex Washburn makes really good points - the process is definitely not easy. 

That time I was looking at getting 201 S Washington (a 5 unit rental) and S Washington wasn't designated as STR and Gettysburg City said that I had to go thru the process of applying for zoning licence which is followed by a hearing with the neighbors as the jury who would hand me the verdict - yes/no.I like analyzing markets and observing them for a number of months/years.

No reason for me to go the through the hassle of the sale process unless there is some type of gain which the investor is open to and this is where I need the advice.

I am a broker in the area and I'd be happy to help you through the process.

Sounds like you have a pretty poor security system.Even with a good security system, having a tenant provide ID is the first step in a professional screening process. 

When did real estate become simpler for you in your process?
