It's the interwebs and text lacks the nuances of conversation and body language but I assure you, nobody was demeaning you or the actions you had thought of.  

Hey every body happy new years...

When in doubt, call the regulatory agency.

I also agree that the typical PM likes to see turnover when they have a leasing fee : throw a warm body in the unit, wait until they screw up, bill the owner for the eviction, bill the owner for the repairs, and do it all over again!

The body was put to use and then started aching.  

Unless... they moved the headstones, but they didn't move the bodies!!!

I had sold a motorcycle I had built with my father and a old car I was restoring, my dad was in the auto body industry so the itch to work on cars and motorcycles rubbed off on me.

Any one have a fee agreement that you don't mind sharing?

You would have to go to the city, county, state and sometimes even federal regulatory agencies that govern and regulate the particular property you are interested in.

There are ways that a lease with option can be accomplished (though I would no longer do one in this regulatory climate) but you must make sure the lease and the option are separate.
