But there is one exception to this. 

They’re good but it’s not exceptional for an attorney to be the registered agent, I think that’s how most people structure it.

We follow a similar model as @Bill B. and with similar results, except our properties are from the 60s, so we gut them and rehab from the studs up, basically resetting the clock. 

I essentially present to them my numbers of what I can redo the property for, and they loan me 80% of the ARV basically no questions asked except for an appraisal.

The neat thing with TDR is that, after you've sold off the residential development rights, you still own the land and get to use it in all the same ways as before, except that you can no longer build houses on it.

Also looks into specific reasons for the lower FICO score if we are willing to make an exception. 

If you are gonna say no you can say it's policy to not provide deposits back until the end of the lease and we don't make exceptions unfortunately. you also did not note but how much is the pet deposit ? 

I can do all the due diligence beforehand, except the soil I have bought a ton of land at auction and tax sales over the last 40 plus years..

Except I already had the property under contract.

Meals, on the other hand, are only 50% deductible, with some exceptions.
