I've heard of people just putting their friends or family down as rental references and such, and forging pay stubs, but always hoped I would never encounter this. 

I found all sorts of things to reference for an eviction including excessive damage to the property, signs of an animal, lack of yard maintenance, oil spill on driveway, smoke detectors removed, the unit smelled of smoke, appliances that came with the unit moved off site ect... 

Reach out to @Kyle Hendricks he may also have some references. 

Create a Lease-purchase AgreementThis option, also referred to as rent-to-own or a lease option, involves a seller leasing a property to a buyer who has the option to buy it for a set price.

Great, thank you for the reference and the recommendation.

I can refer you to some of my seasoned self-storage clients if you send me a direct message. 

Hi @Melissa Wongkamalasai - When you refer to small multifamily, can you clarify if you mean 2-4 units? 

This is a simple solution and there a ton of these programs out there.

We will always find a solution :)
