People can laugh but I will put specific things on the addendum to the lease - I just rented to a woman with 2 dogs, nice dogs that are crated and clean, but the house has hardwood floors, and my addendum specifically reads "dog's nails will be kept clipped so as not to cause damage to hardwood floors".

Make sure your hanging stripes get nailed into studs and not flakeboard!

@Aaron Mazzrillo hit the nail on the head.

You guys hit the nail on the head.  

Each method serves a different purpose; hammer for nails, screwdriver for screws.Most of the time it's enough for smaller deals to figure the cash on cash returns.

I'm handy ( more than the average hammer & nail beginner ), I learn fast, and I enjoy the hell out of it.

There would be an external management co, but I would like to be able to personally drive a nail.

This is not a polished or complete waiver, but you get the idea.  

Perhaps the L/O idea is a good choice regardless.I'll try to nail my lender down tomorrow, and give the seller a call [she gave my agent her number and I've actually already spoken to her once about some questions I had regarding the Oil Furnace.My only concern regarding the lease was if i have a contract that states a move in date, although the boys will be fine with "whatever"- will their parents?  

Ideas from the movies will get you nailed. :)
