Our whole economy is based on that.That being said, when you deal in REO's, banks can impose deed restrictions that prohibit resale for period of time, but there are ways around those, too.  

With their BAH allowance and two to three year assignment periods they have untapped investment strategies they could use.  

During this period, HUD can and will receive counter offer bids from all unsuccessful bidders, as well as other bids from first-time bidders.

You could invest in a property and then within a brief period get hit with a ton of regulations after the local government decides to address their STR policies.

However, the "statement of cash flows" report within QBO combines balance sheet accounts with data from the profit & loss to show cash flow (aka what happened to cash over the period).And, an easier way to allocate monthly loan/mortgage payments is to split the transactions directly from the QBO bank feed rather than create journal entries.

So, assuming the store front could remain empty for long periods of time without the mortgage being in jeopardy, where is the risk that would be keeping lenders away from it?

You should line through the dollar amount so it reads like this:"...Tenant shall pay a late fee of $0 or 5% of the periodic rent."

Also almost everything we bid on sells for cash and no option period. 

We had someone get a ticket and pulled the carts for the rentals, probably cost us between 5-10% of total revenue but it was more important for us to keep our carts than not have them for an extended period.$2 mm house or not you will have headaches with carts regardless and in our experience it's just not worth the hassle.my recommendation is work a deal with a local place you can refer them to and get a small referral fee from.

With new law I feel there are flaws with our lease structure with the 30 day renewal period.
