Of course some rich people want things their way and like to throw their weight around, but strike up a conversation and see where it goes.

Still taking a look at inventory that may not instantly strike you as your preference can certainly help break you out of your comfort zone into new opportunities!

My recommendation would be to start with a WI lease template (I'd be happy to share one with you), and then go through and strike out any terms that would not be applicable to the roommate depending on your arrangement (lawn care, utilities, etc.), then you can write in your terms that aren't included in the boilerplate language of the lease agreement.

With that said…it’s hard to strike a healthy balance between being focused on our business & family life.

How do you strike a deal and make everyone money?

I also always try to strike up a relationship with a neighbor who can be my eyes when I'm not around.Maybe I'm spoiled by investing in a low crime area but if I were in your shoes I'd like at it like this - If you need to put up a camera system to monitor your house flip, is that a neighborhood that you really want to invest your hard earned money?

@Jaron Walling so are you just waiting to the rates take a dip and then strike?

Just make sure you answer whichever means you provide your tenant to contact you if an emergency should strike, including your front door.

An Option Agreement may define the strike price (purchase price) specifically, or it may define the method by which the strike price would be calculated if exercised.

I went to their last one and striked up some great convos about REI and some awesome connections.
