@Joanne Tsai The Lease is already signed she has already agreed to the property condition.Tell her she can pay for and arrange for any of these things (and who performs the work) with written approval from the Landlord (Your Husband).You make the rules not the tenant.

I guess i am trying to decide for myself what kind of multi-res syndication i should invest at at this stage of the cycle, a C class property with great value add potential or an A class building that may be selling at a discount if that makes sense.

Contractors aren't going to want to partner with you at this stage and help you walk through the process.

It's actually pretty simple, but you just need to know what you are doing at each stage.

What two or three networking and other non-core activities did you do at my stage and currently that have been critical to your early success?

Seeking Arrangement....

Would you be looking for such an arrangement?

I appreciate being invited, JD, but my only auction experience is from an old TV show with drama that may have staged treasures in the units.

Have you thought about staging it? 

Thank you.How about earnest money, is it involved in a lease option assignment arrangement?
