The more you know upfront, the less your spreadsheet surprises you down the road.One last note: I’m not a lawyer or CPA, so keep this strictly as friendly advice.

You even have the ability to send your tenant's leases via e-signature and their monthly rent receipts electronically.In addition, you can house all of your management contact information within the program -- such as lawyers, contractors and handyman.

I ain’t no lawyer (except on the Internet), so will possibly have to resort to checking with the lender (BoA) to confirm as I didn’t see anything in the contract that suggested that it closes if I’m no longer resident.James

I use the lease feature from Rocket Lawyer as it's part of my tools stack from Baselane - my banking/bookkeeping/tenant management platform.

If all else fails, I think the seller should be able to hire a lawyer to do a quiet title action to resolve the issue.

You should consult a lawyer to completely understand your responsibilities and your liabilities as they are magnified when renting room by room.  

The threats of leins were not working, as truthfully I had no idea how mechanical liens worked at the time and would just contact a lawyer who did understand them. ( I since have, a lien was placed and it was fraudulent) He began to dismantle the electric after breaking into the breaker box.

@Brittany Farrell You may just have to proceed with your lawyer and see what happens.
