I cannot believe how IDENTICAL A CO MONITOR LOOKS LIKE A SMOKE DETECTOR.

Essentially it was a "normal" purchase (just so happens it was his parents), we had a CO inspection and appraisal, we just didn't use a realtor.

I'd at least want a co-signer on the lease to have some assurance.

It's currently run as a co-op. 

Maybe I can hire a co on my own and do this--probably somewhat cheaper then the county doing it. ofgift

And why would a CO detector be needed in an all-electric house (yeah, back in the day people built houses with electric heat, cooking and hot water too)?

a reasonable after expense net should be 1% a month, or 12% a year after tax considerations. a property management team with depth in that arena is just as essential as a co-venturing partner that may position you to derive that 12% yield on a fully passive basis.

A regular house coupled with The Holton-Wise Property Group is what makes it a rental or turnkey house or whatever anybody wants to call it.With my grouping of services I can work with houses offered on a co-broke were the commissions are under 2k and regularly turn an other wise tiny deal into something worth my time once I couple that with my PM services and gain a long term repeat client. 

Like the example above mentioned that the mineral rights have been sold on allot of land in Texas and without knowing it you might already have a co-owner in the land.

A co-borrower co-owns the home, whereas a co-signer simply acts as a guarantor without ownership rights.
