Context:As a new, bright-eyed, soon-to-be real estate investor in multi-family properties I want to be aggressive in building up a portfolio to where the rental income would allow me to step away from my full-time W2 ...

I'm also looking for contract guidance (samples, anyone?)

How can I do this and protect myself from any new liens being placed on the property before I complete the rehab and exercise my option?

They want to explore the country, sample the delicious food and explore all the great beaches the country has to offer so they need to be at a better location for that.

Just make sure that they have quality gear to do the job and ask them for some sample of their portfolio to see what they consider good quality.If you want to get fancy you can also get a video tour or a virtual tour of the condo.

Reading up in forums and like the blogs around covering yourself with documentation before you deal with Independent Contractors (ICs).Unfortunately, some of the links to the sample IC contract seem broken now as they were a few years old.1) Is anyone willing to share any links to sample IC contracts, an Insurance and indemnification agreement, and a lien waiver?

It was a good exercise as we’re nearing retirement and wanted to know what that would look like.

Sounds like if I take your route, I pay theme rent and then exercise my option to purchase on pre agreed to price after property is passed to beneficiaries so that they will inherit and then sell on a stepped up basis?!

See attached graphic for a sample.

See Estoppel letterAs to determining market rents and expenses, that's a total different exercise and you would have to know that area you'll be operating in.
