I'd like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the fact that you have at least bought your first rental.

Here on BP, I would acknowledge @Yonah Weiss and @Julio Gonzalez as experts in cost segregation and bonus depreciation.

it’s always worth appealing but at the end of the day, you are telling someone they did their job wrong and hoping that they will acknowledge that and rule in your favor.

But again, if the lenders want all individuals to sign for purposes of personal guarantees, then they may not really acknowledge the legal powers granted by you and the other members to the one individual.I hope that makes sense! 

As such, in 1+ year from the start of their extension, they will be paying $300/mo more than they were before, which brings them much more in line with true market rents, but still lower (discount) from what they may pay elsewhere for a comparable (nice, modern unit; house was rebuilt in 2016), and they get price protection in year 2 from what could be an even larger rent increase if the market stays hot (which it has; this was in Feb and the rents are already much higher in CA since then).I am also very honest and direct with them and I tell them as they get farther and farther behind market rent with the rate they are paying when I do have to raise it a bunch, like say $200/mo to stay at least within eyesight of market rent, I acknowledge that they likely experience "sticker shock" and their first inclination is to say "hell no"/decline it, and want to move out.

I will get the contract and POA today, and have the Seller Acknowledgment letter document as well that he has to sign saying he knows exactly what's going on and is not being forced, etc.

Acknowledgement that I have helped them move towards the life they want.

Each new tenant acknowledged the lease, submitted to credit check or parental guarantee. 

I would not say their scores publicly, just post, that I expect a credit score of 640 or higher for EVERY adult applicant, as stated in the ad.Since we, as landlords, did not pay for the service, only used it, we likely have no recourse, but it would be nice if Cozy did acknowledge that they impacted us when we were trusting them, instead of just noticing us and passing the buck. 

Sometimes escrow will require that the seller sign an Amendment to the TREC form/contract to acknowledge the buyer entity change.
