•A seasoned investor whos willing to work with me to craft a future RE investment plan. currently living on the East side of Saint paul, purchaed less than a year ago.

And for me the answer was just let experts be experts on their craft and stick to where my time is best spent.

If they're homies then forget about it but if you don't know them well then I'd craft a lease

My wife and I own both a residential and a commercial firm based in Georgia where I am the Principal Broker.Using my background in investment advisory, I do assist investors with crafting a portfolio based on risks, objectives, and budget which models projected cash flows and debt structure to help plan for retirement.

Although if your tenants have kept the property meticulously clean throughout their tenancy and the property is unfurnished, you could save some money by doing it yourself.

Don't try to hit gold from one deal, multiple well crafted deals will pay off better in the end.

Yes, I think a well crafted clause about properly securing any dangerous items on property can only benefit or protect the landlord.

Also would be nice to find quality crafts people for repairs and maintenance.

Learn your craft. 

I'm not an expert and still learning the craft.
