Now I have to have a sitdown with this potential and try to iron it out in order to seal this deal!

As well as training towards an Iron Man one day.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Monthly social hours with hors d'voures, community BBQ, pool party/cookout, monthly car wash, monthly giveway's (gift cards, dinner with management, etc. for a small group (2 to 5...and post pics on your website) who provide feedback on what areas management can improve, etc.

I agree, and the ironic thing is this : the homeowners have less money, and less knowledge, than investors, but homeowners are the biggest clients and the lion's share of business for agents and brokers.

.* We get as close as possible to ironing/feeling out deal terms that would be agreeable to the seller in advance of submitting an offer, including site visits if they are located in the same market we are vs. out of state/market.All of the above data provides us with enough of an analysis to know what our deal parameters are going to be, at least to within a few percentage points.

I'd rather go with a NNN lease property even if the lease isn't iron clad. 

You are locked into an iron-clad agreement to use them for management. 

know about cast iron plumbing?

While it sounds like you have an opportunity to get your hands dirty, I would make sure to iron out your long-term goals.

Now, if you have an "iron clad prenuptial agreement"...ok, I don't know on those (you would have to go to court)...but in just about every other scenario, spouses have rights to the primary home.
