He will see it eventually on the HUD1 (except when using a double close) but asking early in the process smells of negotiating tactic to me.

I am a very tactical and hands on type of person, but it does not fit my vision to be this way in my business to buy properties.

@Julie Marquez While the process in which you're forcing the tenants to essentially perform in accordance to a 1 year lease to get all of their money back, yet you're officially having them on a month-to-month lease for your own benefit in case you want to raise rents, etc... is a little aggressive on the business tactics but I wouldn't consider you "a Shady Landlady".Personally I would never do it because I would never want to be put in that situation by a landlord if I were the renter.What property class are these assets?
