I've also read that general contracts might merit 20-40% markup over materials if bid out competitively.Q2: Do you know of boilerplate/sample contracts between an investor and developer on rental properties?

I asked one of the guys and he said they have been selling the small samples, and mostly were the wives and daughters asking for it.It comes in various scents, from vanilla bean, to fresh air, to sea breeze, to clean and crisp or spring rain to those fruity strawberries etc...and I thought at the time I would try it, just being curious.My concern was also it would repulse some people, I went and read reviews, the brand they sell at the Home Depot is Paint Scentsation.Paint ScentsationIt recommends 1 oz added to 1 gallon of paint, I only used 0.25 oz for a whole gallon and it was pretty mild.I only used it in the two closets, thinking that very few people would object to the scent of a cedar lined closet, and probably prefer that over a musky sweaty closet (especially if they keep the laundry basket there).As for how long it lasts, the web site says:Q.

Of course the property would need to be a relatively higher cap rate considering it would need to cover the 6 & 8% interest being paid.Another option would be a lease option or something of that nature, sublet and exercise the option with private money or a conventional loan.I would love to hear some other ideas/thoughts, etc. on this!

Anyone know where to get a sample of the estoppel letter?

I'll also be retiring from the military so will have a small income stream and low cost health care to reduce some of my risks.Thanks to all those who post on the forum for your inspiration and specifically to the BP Podcast for tons of fantastic ideas and to J Scott who's sample plans I've studied while drafting my own plan.

IF YES, did the lending institution exercise the "Due on Sale" clause, either immediately or after they saw the escrow or insurance paperwork change from John Q.

Does any one have a sample non-renewal form they'd be willing to share?

Or are their any samples out there?

I would only exercise the option if local development continues and I can flip the property for a nice profit.

They also bought newer properties(often because they lived there before) and don't have a large sample pool of properties so they haven't had any major expenses in 5 years.
