I find it hilarious that everyone is assuming this lease is appropriate when they haven't even seen it, or even had it's contents summarized.  

There is only one person on BP that I know who has actually dealt extensively with this exact issue and has even adjudicated it as a Harvard educated lawyer, his name is @Jonathan Twombly I urge you to read his expert answers on this exact subject: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/140550-best-way-to-protect-myself http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/140457-forming-your-llc I will summarize a few of his basic points against the unhelpful and inaccurate advice so far offered on this thread although I urge you to read his very intelligent responses yourself. 1.

For example, in SoCal 2009-2012 was great for buy-and-hold (long holding period), then those margins got too thin and 2012-2014 flipping made more sense (short holding period), 2014 to today flipping numbers are fairly thin so I'd consider wholeselling or acting as a RE agent or other RE services (zero holding period).So, to summarize, in a dynamic market like CA you have to either be very patient or learn how to operate different strategies, adjust, and adapt along with the market.
