IE 5k EM and 95k down payment on a short term contract then refi out.. that way if esrow does not close title company can send you the 95k back without sellers authorization

In my leases, and probably in yours, there is a specification on what happens if the Landlord or authorized contractor on landlord’s behalf, is not allowed entry.  

It was a city code meaning ‘Open Space’ whose authorized uses were basically a city park or nothing.

I recently attended a meetup where he held a presentation and he's certainly a local authority on this issue as well as a seasoned investor. 

We authorize additional occupants often.

Housing Authority (Sec 8) doesnt like the specific neighborhood.

Honestly, you should have a partnership agreement of some sort documenting how you are going to operate (how to split profits, who has decision authority or how its done, etc.).   

They can add you as an authorized user without giving you a card, but still reap the benefits.

It is section 8 and I liked how the housing authority paid most of the rent.

So, through the title/escrow co I let them know that if the attorney did not cancel it, I would be presenting them for the bill for the new locks and locksmith, and any damage the clean out folks did to MY house as they had no authority---and it was not occupied.
