Hi @Collin Schwartz I have 2 main goals at this time:1) Network with like minded investors in the Metro Area to share ideas and best practices with.2) Identify key partners where I can leverage some sweat equity for equity share right now and when my own capital is freed up, a partner that I can invest with and split the work.#1 is of highest priority to me, #2 will depend solely on the relationship that is built and the deal at hand.Thanks for the reply.

Each of their other lending practices still apply - i.e.

Larger government laws overrule smaller ones.Anyway, this page from the Ohio bar says you can put it in the tenant's name: https://www.ohiobar.org/forpublic/resources/lawfac...It's sounding like "keep the water in the owner's name" is common practice people think is actually required.Edit: I'm obviously not giving anyone legal advice, I'm just an accountant raised by lawyers, so I'm persnickety about this stuff.

I am practicing evaluating potential rentals, and refining my criteria.  

Since you would be withdrawing practically all the equity from your co-op, why don't you just sell it?  

You could say I'm an idealist at heart, but I don't let my idealism carry me away from the practical aspects of investing.  

But many people let the seller know about the upcoming assignment as a business practice to keep everyone informed. 

Looking for different ideas for durable window treatments for privacy for rental properties? Any suggestions for a new landlord? 

That could be true, but is highly unlikely.Much more likely is that you've signed and "exclusive right to rent", which doesn't prohibit you from marketing your own rental, but does mean that a commission is due to your agent regardless of who brings the tenant.Finally, many have commented that they think that asking the tenant to pay the real estate commission is silly and may be damaging your chances of finding a renter.This is a case where different markets have different practices.  

My weekly goals include 3-5 hours of continued development on my business plan to fine tune the tactical plans needed to implement my overall strategy, research my targeted markets, and run through "practice" investment scenarios.
