I have several outlined that I'm going to shoot messages to about 4 weeks prior to the hunt, get all the details I need, and for all I know they could be the source of the lead.

My recommendation is make an outline or list of all facets of self-storage as you're going through all this info. 

It is very clearly outlined in both guidelines.As far as investment properties, there is only one way, that I know of, to not have to disclose them without breaking the rules. 

Just make sure some sort of operating agreement is drafted and executed outlining whose rolls are what, who has decision making power to spend money on the asset, sell it, etc. this way you avoid conflict later.

Finally, Ohio landlords can also take advantage of tax deductions and other benefits, such as the Landlord-Tenant Act of 1974, which outlines landlord rights and responsibilities.Columbus is likely to be a hot spot for real estate investors in 2023.

I have responded, outlining all of the lease violations, being careful to note, she has until eod tomorrow for two previous issues, and eod Wednesday for new issues.   

Rent doesn’t necessarily need to be paid, and it would be a double taxation issue, but a contract outlining the arrangement signed by all members would certainly be helpful.

@Cathy MalmroseAll else aside, your son is essentially a landlord for this time and he could put together a lease agreement immediately (ideally with the help of an attorney), which outlines a security deposit in case of damages, requires the prior owner to obtain renters insurance, who pays utilities and any daily rent- especially a daily amount that’s high if they stay beyond a certain date.This would at least cover the primary points in a leaseback.I’m curious about when and how the sellers made the request to stay past closing that your son agreed to - was it just between the two parties or was the Realtor part of that conversation?

That same article outlined how the city was policing these non-permitted houses and the methods were very manual and time consuming.

I imagine a contract between you and the owner that outlines the responsibilities of each party and the fees associated with the service he is providing would be sufficient.
