I'm asking specifically because I am thinking about throwing a treadmill or elliptical machine in the living room if the person wants to exercise a little while they're there.The unit isn't huge (around 1k sq feet) and it will probably look tacky, but I was wondering if other people have found value in providing some simple exercise equipment, even if it seems out of place.

Be sure to let them know the advantages of working with you.Personal Property SignsGenerally considered one of the most straightforward strategies exercised by those trying to find cash buyers, personal property signs are exactly what they sound like: signs placed on a subject property with the intent to market it.

The notice of sale must include an executed duplicate original of the third-party purchase agreement and make available specific details about the property including the most recent rent roll, list of vacant apartments, income and expense report for the 12 month prior to the notice and any other information the Housing Commissioner may specify by rule.Tenants’ first right to purchase the building before a third-party (‘Right of First Refusal’)Tenants in buildings with five or more dwelling units have a period of 90 days from receipt of ‘notice to sell’ to form a union to exercise their “right of first refusal.”

For the purpose of this exercise lets focus on the other 99% who invest in SFR homes which is for the highest yield outcomes.  

Thereby the seller doesn’t end up taking the property off the market for t0 days, and gets “compensated” $100 when the borrower exercises his option to withdraw from the deal. 

When doing this exercise PLEASE make sure you are factoring in a couple of things:- closing costs for acquisitions- working capital or cash reserves up front for a rainy day- operating expenses and replacement reserves- mistakes, bad years, bad acquisitions.

There are hardship withdrawal provisions and others that can be exercised if you meet the requirements. 3) If you have access to a workplace plan, like a 401k, with a Roth component, you can consider that as well. 4) If you setup your Roth with a Self-Directed IRA custodian, they can allow you to invest in assets like real estate, private lending, private equity and other alternative assets. 

And, if you don't want the best candidates for purchase but just want to exercise that authority you think you have by being the owner, that is up to you.

How have you gotten aligned with your co-buyers in the past (any exercises, tools, resources, processes, etc you've used) and how might you do things going forward?
