Design a clause in your lease that complies with both and ensures you are protected.

•For example, a listing with three price drops and 180 days on the market would be weighted less than one with 30 contacts, no price drops, and a quick removal after 30 days.3.Open Data:•Provide direct access to each comp’s details: price history, leasing schedules, photos, and even links to the original listing sites—all without leaving the platform.These three issues have been my biggest frustrations with current tools, and I’m building this out for internal use in my market.My questions to you:•Is this something you would want to see in your market?

You are telling the tenant in advance that they can break their lease at any time and get paid to do it.

If the prospects look financially shaky or sketchy, I ask for the name of a co-signer - and collect payment for a background check on them.Verbally, I also ask when they are interested in taking occupancy, and I tell them the application will be made part of the lease agreement - that I can evict them if they've lied in their application.

And one side was already leased.

Double check your lease, all the legalities and still check with the landlord....

You can also offer to lease with an option to buy to tie up the property until you are ready to purchase. 

I have a one page lease addendum to cover this, that is executed with every tenant and every lease.

, and lease history to name a few.Don't be lulled into complacency by seller financing either.

Once they sign the lease and pay the deposit I credit them back the cost of the background checks off their first month’s rent.
