Nope, it's not at all crazy for a tenant to own investment properties or (technically this next one is fraud) a property they purchased in their name as an owner occupant for their cousin Billy to live in (1st/2nd gen immigrants often do this, or at least try to, sometimes without even realizing this is fraud... and then I say something like "Uh, your LO and agent when you, who speaks English as a second language, purchased this place, that you now want to refinance, told you WHAT?!?!").

There is no specific language in the law that says landlord must provide, heat, furnace,   The language I provided earlier which is from the MN bar association lease mimics state statute and has been interpreted to mean that a LL must provide a working heat source, it does nor require them to pay the utility cost to run the heat source.  

Don't move to Detroit...stay in Florida and take advantage of your language skill.

@Valerie Zimmerman I would have the tenant sign a new lease to make sure the lease is up to date with current legal language.

Beer, coffee, and properties... you're speaking our language (my husband @Dan Krupa).

I am looking quickly for any major problems that would affect my buyers income expectations with the property or financing issues based on language of the leases.If there do not appear to be any then the commercial retail attorney is engaged to negotiate the purchase and sale agreement which can take 1 to 2 weeks.

You do not include debt service in Cap Rate, because it used as a way to compare commercial properties, just so everyone is speaking the same language when listing them. 

I love working with investors, and speak your language.  

There seem to be many promising areas just oustide the quebec border in ontario that cash flow better than most in montreal, and there is less of an issue with language barrier for contractors and such if this is a problem for some

If you end up in court, it might be the difference between a win and a loss.Just for clarification, this is the language of the statute regarding the return of security deposit.38-12-103.
