Another downside of that housing bubble that so many hailed to be good for this country, while some of us waited for the other shoe to drop!

Seems like you could ride out DMM for another 12-18 months and then reevaluate and hop into UMM for a long term investment.

My main concern is converge for wind / hail / storm damage.I think a basic umbrella for personal / extending it to the property's would be adequate.Anyone else consolidated under one main policy and then actually had to DEAL with a claim?

Make it an OFFICE EXPENSE:  Equipment: Lawnmower (if it is a cheap lawnmower)   Or, make it a Fix Asset Account which you can depreciate each year if it's a riding lawnmower.  

Cash for keys should be a Hail Mary last ditch effort to get somebody out .

Even if there were he would expend all his cash reserves which is the end of the ride. 

So if you choose to "let it kind of ride until after closing" then a day before his father can sign him to a 10 year lease at $7 a month.

So I ride to Killeen's rescue!

If they still do not comply, I would seek to evict on this premise.I would ignore the boyfriend issue at this point and just evict for non-compliance (entry) or if they allow entry, ride out the last three months and not renew.

I really believe that while an agent should be very knowledgeable about the real estate market....you should also have a great connection with that person because its going to be a fun/scary/emotional/weird/crazy/hectic time and you want to be able to ride that roller coaster with someone you generally like and can stand putting up with numerous showings and phone calls and texts.
