My very best guess to this day was some sort of OCD type condition that compelled the person to constantly keep checking, pulling, pushing (probably with too much force clearly) every knob in the unit compulsively. 

If the sellers see that nearby houses are selling for $XXX/ft2, your not going to get them to take half of that.  

Basically write it that Betty is being removed from the lease as of xxx date and Joe is taking over all responsibilities of the signed lease dated xxx.

Management received your rent in the amount of $xxx on the 6th.

That may be feasible at a price of $XXX,XXX. 

At min at least mail them something that says hey market rent is xxx per month but since your good your rent will be x less per mo.

You can further test by asking if their rent had been XXX whether they had lived there X years etc.

Add in an additional clause that I buy it for $xx,xxx upon her death?

Been looking at houses in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts area and I have a real issue looking at a house and saying "yes, that will be 30K in rehab costs", or "oh man, redoing those floors, adding lighting, cutting out that wall will total $XXX" I've been thinking of getting a contractor or inspector to do a walk through with me on them before I even put in an offer because I really feel like I'm flying blind.

After 10 years of investing starting from 2016 I should have XXX equity in my portfolio) Deal making: Flexibility during deal making would be key to growth (Operated vs Non Operated Venture) I am heavily debating (may be proposing) whether we all should start a holding company to run/maintain our individual homes.
