I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

After a few candid conversations, they realized they could negotiate slightly higher rents by offering small improvments..things like better loading dock access or upgrading the security features..turning a so-so cash flow into something much healthier.When you break down your family friend’s situation, it might help to consider these angles:Selling and redeploying capitla could open up opportunities in markets where cash flow is a bit juicier.

Quote from @Kevin Rodriguez: After numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure a deal to cohost, I’ve decided to adopt a new strategy.

That’s an incredible deal—congratulations on securing 100% seller financing!

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

More people see your property, the higher likely hood of securing a tenant in a quick amount of time (all things equal).

Wisconson is a mortgage as the security instrument and a note.

The company I use has patched the issue since then, but security is ongoing, of course.

I’d recommend running cash flow scenarios on any potential deal to ensure it aligns with your financial goals.If you’d like help analyzing properties or securing financing, let me know I’d be happy to assist.Best,Drago
