We have a Sears scratch and dent store that has good prices.Fridges you can probably get good clean inexpensive ones on Craig's list or Facebook market place.

Of course, I'd double check your states LL laws to see if you owe him anything or have to notify him within a certain time frame before the move in date.

We find that time frame to be the best for leasing and selling.

What time frame is the city considering "short term"?

@David M. for my deal I use a promissory note for my earnest money (this way I didn't have to put down actually cash money and the note was due at closing meaning that I would have to pay the note off at closing)  Now the buyer who is buying the deal from me is putting $4,000 non refundable deposit/ Earnest Money its all the same in this case  (which I will use that money to pay the seller my $1,000 dollar promissory note and I keep the $3,000 for myself if he doesn't perform) now keep in mind if I don't perform on my end to purchase the house within my time frame and contingencies the seller's only recourse is to keep my earnest money of $1,000. 

I am trying to set up a time frame schedule and budget on how much this will cost me.

Yeah, I'm just getting started and definitely don't have the funds to hire someone full time, or even part time for any definite time frame. 

Yeah I have 16 total units but tenants will usually stay a year or more so the jobs are intermittent time frames.

My colleague Stephen Thomas for acting as my accountability partner as we both did our first deal during the same time frame.

I simply wanted to know if that is compliant with CA's RE bureau, for future reference.Last message (txt) was from listing broker/dual agent that that Escrow was opened, and so I dropped off the 10K check to the Escrow company indicated in CAR form's Joint Escrow Instructions, which shares same exact address as Listing Broker, just a different suite letter, ie B in of A, and haven't heard back from dual agent since, but assume once contract is executed, brokers move onto their next deals and become 'scarce'.Anyways I had asked for 4wks close then 3wks close but broker kept 2wks close on the offer as its cash so let's see if we actually do close on their preferred timeframe of 2wks which would be 2nd week of Nov; there are NO contingencies other than Title clearing so I see no reason why the heck not, yet remains to be seen!
