Can he cancel his entire annual lease legally and I should look for another tenant? 

However, loans under $200k, it's closer to 3-4%, and loans under $125k, expect around 5%.Lenders typically have flat fees (UW, legal, etc).

If your wife’s family agrees, you could look into purchasing the home from the trust, possibly before it enters probate, which could save time and legal headaches.Reducing Closing Costs: One way to reduce closing costs is to negotiate a private sale among family members, which might save on agent commissions and some taxes.

I'm a long time professional property manager and I'm not afraid to deal with delinquency or other legal matters myself, so I only pay for the services I want, like screenings and the tenant payment portal. 

But the damage was done—I had already gone through three management companies, three evictions, and a lot of lost rent and legal fees.

It’s fair for the capital partner to handle these financial contributions since they aren’t bringing management or hands-on skills.Whatever structure you choose, make sure all contributions and profit-sharing are clearly outlined in a legal agreement to avoid any potential misunderstandings down the road.

Here’s what a 'co-ownership consultation' would look like:- We review an active listing of your choice to:- Build a cost-of-co-ownership model for the property which includes:- Individual ownership and ongoing cost assumptions- Modeling potential rental income for short-term rentals- Modeling financial outcomes from various exit scenarios- Tax benefits and considerations of shared homeownership- Pros/cons of different ownership structures (joint tenancy, LLC, tenants in common, etc)- Talk through the legal agreements (I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice but I do have extensive knowledge about TIC and other co-ownership agreements)- Briefly discuss some of the ways AI is making the work that goes into successfully managing a shared home easierIf you're interested, here's what I'm asking:- You’re a U.S. citizen or permanent resident interested in co-owning in the U.S.- You choose a property that’s actively listed and something you'd realistically be interested in co-owningShoot me a message if you're interested and open to 30ish minute chat.Thanks!

You need a pre-approval letter from your lending institution. 

Many landlords now use online platforms that integrate electronic signature capabilities to handle this legally and efficiently.

If you're already pre-approved, I would recommend verifying that your lender can service a non-warrantable condo and is keeping the loan in-house.It's completely normal to second-guess a decision like this—there's always some speculation involved.
