Joints will seperate, nails will "pop" and loosen giving you a squeaky floor.

As well as there are a few small changes I want to make in my first property.Luckily I have a "day job" where I should be able to save up for down payments if something were to pop up on the market before I had planned on being ready.Hopefully I will have more to contribute to the site in the future as of now I'm mainly a "taker" of information :)

I am focusing on lease options and in the marketing process other kinds of possible deals pop up.

A few tips..You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box.

If there is a filing agent on the owners behalf you can simply look up their name and contact them to get in touch with the owners.I also can do a tax search with a name that has an outdated address or no address to see if any other addresses pop up that they own.

I do understand that they don't want to pass out a lease they basically paid for that could end up being used in that community, but it also tells me they are pretty locked up in thier thinking, probably due to thier attorney.I'd say reviewing the lease prior to hiring them would be more than reasonable and you should be able to add any addendum you like, so long as it doesn't violate local law or custom and it doesn't make thier job leasing more difficult.It also tells me that in the event any issue pops up, this PM may lack experience in dealing from a managerial standpoint attempting to follow strict guidelines, doesn't sound like they might be ver flexible, even if common sence should prevail.Could be too you need to do some more stroking, making the PM more comfortable with your requirements.PMs need to understand they represent you, you drive the bus and they oversee your directions.

Those that simply "pop" will have the same issues to renew.And, most banks will be asking for current financials as they are required for audits.

I don't like rules of thumb because the details have a way of popping your bubble.

courts can drag it out in divorce, death or bankruptcy and keep property from being sold. you name it even title problems can pop up for a bank.

I have been exposed to it by my dad, I've worked lots of summers and weekends on homes with my pops to fix them and sell them/rent them.
