I would agree with Ryan, My firm uses Westlaw for LP and NOD information, and, although it does provide the records we are looking for, there is a tiny window to contact who you need to.

We are moving to a new city and really love the pictures of the house and expressed an interest in buying the house if we get settled nicely and like the house as much as we like the pictures of it.I told the owners we'd be willing to pay 3 months in advance for their peace of mind seeing as tho myself and my wife still need to get settled in jobs etc (but have plenty of cash reserves)The owner also said he'd rent it to us at 900/mo as long as we agree to make tiny repairs to the house here and there when he asks of us...obviously something within our abilitiesWe then got sent what looks like a lease option contract, yet I was never asked for any option money and looks like its only 3 months long, but I still get a % of the rent credited to the eventual purchase price.When speaking to the owner he says we can rent this place for as long as we like and he's just making it 3 months long for both of our safety in the deal.Could somebody please take a look at this contract and tell me if anything is out of line or something I should get changed before signing it?

I was having my PM go later this week through each unit with a check list to see what works and what does not.I want to send a message to all tenants that they will be gone period if they don't pay the cash.I just bought the property so I need to set a precedent from the start.The seller gave me a list of 10 tenants wanting to rent last month that they didn't have time to call.They don't even put anything on the net just a tiny sign in front of the building next to the road.I want to build up a big tenant call list and show that to the existing tenants and let them know when they don't want to pay rent or try to pay partial they will be gone.In a way I think it would be better as I could condition a blank slate tenant from the beginning instead of having to recondition existing tenants from a previous landlord who sometimes was on top of things and other times let things go.

Only a very tiny percentage of rentals actually cash-flow, and those are mostly located in management-intensive areas (the hood!)
