And then the voicemail is scratchy, has breakups and is sometimes unintelligible.   

They get new jobs, get divorced, break up with their boyfriends/girlfriends, have fights with their roommates, and then they just move.You can’t physically force them to stay, and the reality is you can’t even usually legally hold them to the full obligation of the lease because almost every state requires the landlord to mitigate damages and make a reasonable effort to re-rent the place to another tenant.So whose hands are really tied by longer leases?

If the answer is yes, then go for it.Also keep in mind another great advantage of the HELOC is that unlike the hard money loan where you take it all out at once and pay interest on the entire loan, you can break up the withdrawals from the HELOC to minimize the interest costs.

Be sure you work with a lawyer to draft up a partnership agreement to make sure everyone is covered in the event of a messy break up. 

@Maxwell Kaplan when picking an agent, make sure you’re comfortable enough that you can eventually “break up” with the agent and still have the friend/cousin etc. 

How you guys can break up. 

Life happens and tenants lose their jobs, they break up, get divorced, have kids and need bigger places, can't afford the current place, or whatever....and then they just move. 

Love to work with any of your buyers as well.I think the modern farm house will break up the old Portland style two story box's and we have the houses pre selected along with paint themes so it should look pretty cool ..

If we break up for some reason, what happens to me?

If they break up, they are both responsible until it is resolved with a new tenant I approve.Negotiators:  Applicants who immediately ask me to reduce rent, I drop them from consideration.
