I have had a coach for some time now and I couldn’t imagine working without one.

As you both can imagine with the competition being fierce for deals, anything that can be done legally that gives an investor an edge will be done.

I imagine for a rental property you would want to stay towards the lower end of that I know I would.

If it is a month to month just serve notice of non renewal and if it is a year lease wait it out and then send a notice of non-renewal.I imagine it will be difficult to prove in court that they live there if you try to evict them over it.

But can't imagine it was that low.What utilities are landlord paid, and which ones are tenant paid?

I'm sure things have changed quite a bit, but I imagine it's a pretty decent place to land a few properties.

Imagine a world where someone hands you 100k and says “Find a way to grow your business and return this money to me one day”......How would you grow your business / net worth/ cashflow the fastest way possible??

And underneath it, I imagine I am worried about being firm with my tenants, which would be a good thing to deal with now before it becomes a problem.This is all great food for thought--thanks so much to all of you for your input!

Yes, you can be a fractional owner, but I can't imagine many people wanting a person they don't really know to now have an equity partnership in their investment just to skirt a law. 

Obviously, it kind of sucks for us to discover foundation issues but a smart seller I would imagine realizes that he is just going to have to deal with this issue coming up again with the next buyer if he ends up sending you away so I am trying to hold my ground while being reasonable.
