Then if we have agreed on a price, I pull out a contract and fill it out and have it signed on the spot.If it is a deal listed with a realtor, I might call them and give them a verbal offer.

I want to be honest for the sake of the relationship, but I guess at the same time I need to be up front with contracting costs and materials.Work needed:- Back deck torn down (awkward 3 story high), fill in double doors from bedroom with wall or very large window spanning adjacent windows.- Tear down old ugly car port.- Landscaping, add nice garden up front, trim trees, remove overgrown vines from house siding- Remove old walkway and replace with new right angle walkway to driveway instead of street- Fix up front porch, new concrete probably- Repair any problem siding- Flooring has some unevenness, joists in crawl space/basement need to be added or adjusted.- Exterior paint, interior paint - HVAC and water heater appear new, roof appears new- Interior has some water stain marks, replace drywall patches- Replace kitchen with modern cabinets, granite, appliances- Oak floors downstairs hopefully can be refinished- Replace carpet upstairs with composite flooring or nice carpet - stairs are carpeted!

The seller-like many in this market-have their eyes filled with dollar signs and can no longer see reality.

I love the court house filled with leads i never my local court house without at least 3-4 leads.

The seller and tenant can sign their own lease after you're out of the deal.You also don't really need the LOI, that's just if you want to do a written negotiation without filling out a full contract.

Tell him or her what you are trying to accomplish and they should be able to answer any questions or fill in blanks on the process and recommend people to help you.

I need a free or cheap online application, where they fill it out and I can get the details. 

If the math works out for the specific property the just fill the rest of the units with other active duty army.   

We're nearing the end of our due diligence period, so I wanted to double check that we weren't getting ourselves into a mess before our money goes hard.I also wasn't sure whether to have the current owner fill the units, as I've heard horror stories about owners just filling the units with warm bodies in order to show the higher occupancy on paper, when in fact, they turn out to be not the best tenants.All that being said, I absolutely agree that this is a glass half full situation, as we will get to push those rents sooner than expected.

I have the other floor guy coming next Friday to fill in the rest of the floor.
