I imagined I needed to generate some sort of statement for him to write-off the interest on the bridge loan and figured I probably needed a statement form to reflect the proceeds from the joint venture flip. 

I have seen his writings and reviewed the Facebook group.

Reminder her that the sooner you can get it rented, the sooner she can be out of her lease.Get it in writing that she wants out of her lease and the end date and hold her to that.

My point in bringing up the fact he continued paying is because he said to me in response to my letter stating he owes the difference in damages above the security deposit amount that he has nothing to do with her anymore, except it wasn't true because he still would write checks directly to me to cover her rent.2.

But, when it comes time to put the deal together and pull the trigger: work with a seasoned real estate attorney with experience in structuring seller carry deals and writing thorough docs that cover your interests, especially with the "what ifs?"

Give your interest statement to CPA when filing taxes for more write off. 

DC is also one of the most "renter friendly" places in the country, so really make sure you do your homework and consult an attorney when writing up your lease to make sure that your property and your lease is in compliance with rental law. 

If you won’t pay any closing or agent fees, I’d suggest stating that up front so everyone knows what to expect before showing or writing an offer.

Thank you so much for sharing your write up.
