In the past, I typically left it up to the client in this instance - I explained both sides of the fence and let them make an informed decision.Now, we want landlords to be considered a trade or business for purposes of Section 199A, which is a grey area in and of itself with respect to landlords.

And in instances where closing gets delayed due to the lender, do you force the Buyers to pay a per diem to the Seller?

For instance, 7/1 ARM is being offered at 3.75% for the initial 7 year period, with LIBOR based variable rate afterwards.

In some instances there are many.   

We've generally been able to reduce heating oil consumption 40-50% once we buy a building (you have personally been the beneficiary of two of these instances, haha!).

This is different than being an “additional insured” which in some instances may offer you additional protection, but not likely in your situation....if he can add you as an Additional Insured, great....if not sweat it.

Like for instance some markets offer more urban rowhouse style properties whereas other markets offer more suburban freestanding SFRs, etc.

For instance, for rental, you want to look for ones that don't have lots of yard, because when its vacant you would have to pay a lot for mowing. 

In this instance, Cozy will come after the landlord to collect the lost payments.

For instance, 1500sq / ft, clean, paint $2 / sq ft.
