(End, Source:  MassLandlord.net)I would include flags, banners - and that the exterior of the property including windows and doors facing outward shall remain unencumbered of any personal items/expression.The First Amendment is not a valid argument - and ensuring that each tenant has the legal right to the "peaceful use of their property" is a landlord obligation.

It's peace of mind.Josh

If you had 4-5x as much cash to work with, then paying cash to give you peace of mind and then refinancing later would be an okay way to go, but the potential down side of buying a $30-50k property is a lot scarier (to me) than leveraging something more expensive. 

If you want to keep peace in the family, you have to be clear.Also, I noticed you said, "I put cash up front for the lot so I am the only person that put the investment in it really."

Quite painless.Got an inspection for insurance plus peace of mind for a total of $225 and it checked out beautifully, house really is in great shape so I think I got a very good deal indeed.

In my opinion, you are time ahead trying to help grease the wheels, negotiate to help somehow, get it over with reasonably peacefully, and move on.  

At the end of the day nothing happened, but I was glad to have the peace of mind knowing that the windows weren't going to blow out and cause damage or injuries.

I wasn't always that way and it's not a very popular stance on here, but it is very peaceful!  

Peace. 

And I really want to help her have peace about this.
