Things like male/female, dogs but no cats, fixed or unfixed, how well the dog is behaved etc.

The next meeting is the Vendor Tradeshow where allsorts of "trades" will be having tables / booths: contractors, lenders, flooring suppliers, kitchen cabinet suppliers, Home Depot - that's just a short sampling.  

Your tenants should behave and be clean because you've screened them well and it is clear through your lease what your cleanliness standards are.

This is why I am looking so heavily into this option.I just bought the building two months ago and have yet to write new leases so I will be having to completely write customized leases for this building anyways, would not be much more work from my perspective to customize for utilities; however, it is very possible that there will be disagreements.

This building has been cash flowing great for me as it is amazing what seeing an owner or manager from time to time does for how the tenants behave.  

But if you're just concerned about his honesty in general and/or that he may be taking shortcuts with the rehab on the one house you're buying from him, you should be having an inspection done that would reveal any issues as far as that goes.   

We'll be having the Meetup at one of our offices in Katy.

@Brian Johnson mentioned the meetup that we will be having on Wednesday at 6:30 PM in Midtown-crossing/Blackstone district at Noli's Pizzeria.We would love to see you both there.

Office rent, employees, vehicles, phones, insurance, payroll, tools, equipment, and accounting software are all required whether your tenant is well behaved or not.

Rich,As I had mentioned in PM with you and with TC, the way I would believe it best handled is to have a thread where you can post that you are aware of a BP member who has behaved in ______ (some disgraceful manner); send PM with subject line "more info on BP deadbeat, please" to obtain info.This removes any public flogging, and also removes the "explanations" (read: excuses) that would be posted in reply to any direct airing of such matters.You can see in my sig that I have info on such a BP member (I did not get ripped off, but many lenders did by this member), and that I will share via PM.
