Any landlords use a hybrid approach, perhaps a M2M to vet a new tenant for some pre-determined period of time, and then roll that tenant into a long term lease?

The Option contract is a contract between the owner and the "potential" buyer giving the potential buyer the exclusive right to buy the property for a predetermined price during a predetermined time frame. 

Always financial, and based solely on what their predetermined plan tells them those numbers are...at each timeline in that plan. 

If you had a real problem, it wouldn’t be of any help.Across the country, there should be a pre-determined landlord policy.

For now i've just been billing their time hourly plus materials, regardless of work orders or renovation, however I was considering pivoting to a "Quote" system where I charge a pre-determined rate for a reno project, similar to how most other companies do it.

You can even put in there that after a certain day, if they don't complete, they need to pay you for days past the predetermined date.Hope this helps!

Do you stick with your pre-determined exit strategy? 

@Caryn Zallnick find an investor to finance remodel in return for 50% of profit from which property is pre sold to passive investor at pre determined price.

You would also lock in that appreciation by having an option to buy attached to the lease at a pre-determined price.
