Weeks later, it was communicated to us that the underwriter wouldn’t accept the ones signed by only one of us – legally binding for LLCs – and required we send amended copies of leases signed by both of us.

There can also be a lot of bad advice, so be sure you know your local laws before blindly accepting this type of advice.After 30 years of being in this industry, a lot has happened. 

If not weekly, please propose a cadence that is acceptable (not less than monthly). 

Padsplit as a company has greesed alot of palms to be an acceptable violatoin of zoning and business licensing requirments for a hotel. 

The only draw back I have is that AMEX isn't accepted everywhere but otherwise we like our AMEX Blue Business Card.

Also keep in mind, terms other than price will play a role in getting you offer accepted too.

The challenge is knowing if the listing agent actually tells your offer to the seller or not.For example, if a distressed property is $650k and you want to offer $620k, the listing agent says the lowest the seller may accept is $645k, but is that actually true or made up because the listing agent wants their commission?

They keep rent low, give gifts and homemade cookies for Christmas, make upgrades whenever the tenant requests,  accept all the late rent excuses, etc.The truth is, your tenant is not your friend.

If they're serious, I encourage them to send me the request which I accept (after I've also made our House Rules clear).

You can also just accept certain kinds of pets, breeds, or sizes as a third option.
