I've agreed to pay the reinstatement amount in exchange for them signing the deed over to me.

We were working with this agent early last year and signed an exclusive buyer agency agreement that expired June of last year.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

If they’ve been around forever but only manage 50 doors, that’s a sign they aren’t growing for a reason.Good PMs are worth their weight in gold, but a bad one will wreck your investment.

A seller can not sign away his rights in a purchase or any other document.

Some will pressure you to sign that day, tell them you have appointments for more bids.

Once you sign a contract of intent, they give you a portal to select from notes, and you can choose from partial notes, subordinated notes, whole notes, and protected notes.

You can talk to as many agents as you want & in fact you should, however with the new law you do need to sign an contract before the agents can show you a property, that’s the law now unfortunately.3.

Seller does not have to go with them, they can interview and sign with whatever agent they like.

I just signed up with them.
