Unless/until you know your purchase agreement like your own cellphone number, have the contract reviewed by your real estate attorney.When dealing with existing/inherited tenants, always get a signed/notarized estoppel letter regarding actual rents, security deposits, prepaid rents, lease copies or month-to-month agreements.  

Yes I do.I have also been getting notarized partial lien releases each time I've paid them. 

Does the contract need to be notarized?

Notarized, recorded, etc. 

The main tools are aimed at building affordable where it's not without much more than that to make it happen.However, I (my opinion only) think it doesn't address a couple of issues:1) A lot of places where "affordable" housing is not are a lot more expensive to build in.  

I have the tenant buyer get the option agreement notarized.

As for the cost, the grand deed had to be notarized, so there was a small cost for that. 

The county clerk may even be able to notarize it for you.Below is the text of the one we use, (and I attached how they look in the next post)  Hope it helps... but of course check with your own state, I can't vouch what's below is perfect for everywhere.Randy---------------------Prepared ByMy NameMy AddressMy City / State / ZipAfter Recording Return ToMy NameMy addressMy City State ZipSpace Above This Line for Recorder’s UseFLORIDA QUIT CLAIM DEEDSTATE OF MY StateMy COUNTYKNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That for and in consideration of the sum ofTen Dollars ($10) in hand paid to (Seller's Name), a married/single man /woman, residing at your address, County XXX, City of XXXXXX, State of XXXX (hereinafter known as the “Grantor(s)”) hereby quitclaims to XXPerson or XXEntity, a XXXType of person or entity (Single/married man /Woman, or Florida LLC, etc), residing at ___________________, County of ___________, City of _______________, State of _______________ (hereinafter known as the “Grantee(s)”) all the rights, title, interest, and claim in or to the following described real estate, situated in _____________________ County, State to-wit:Legal Description goes below __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[INSERT LEGAL DESCRIPTION HERE OR ATTACH AND INSERT]To have and to hold, the same together with all and singular the appurtenances thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining, and all the estate, right, title, interest, lien, equity and claim whatsoever for the said first party, either in law or equity, to the only proper use, benefit and behoof of the said second party forever.________________________________ ________________________________Grantor’s Signature Grantor’s Signature________________________________ ________________________________Grantor’s Name Grantor’s Name________________________________ ________________________________Address Address________________________________ ________________________________City, State & Zip City, State & ZipIn Witness Whereof,________________________________ ________________________________Witness’s Signature Witness’s Signature________________________________ ________________________________Witness’s Name Witness’s Name________________________________ ________________________________Address Address________________________________ ________________________________City, State & Zip City, State & ZipSTATE OF ________________COUNTY OF ___________________I, the undersigned, a Notary Public in and for said County, in said State, hereby certify that ______________________________ whose names are signed to the foregoing instrument, and who is known to me, acknowledged before me on this day that, being informed of the contents of the instrument, they, executed the same voluntarily on the day the same bears date.Given under my hand this ____ day of ____________________, 20___.

Got a mobile notary to notarize docs and done. 

This form (a "declaration") ONLY goes to the landlord, does not require a witness and does not have to be notarized.
