You also have to have demonstrated that tenant was negligent. in this case, your plumber wouldnt be able to write a report pointing fault to the tenant, so you cant charge them for the plumber or resulting damages.check out the things the cadet can flush down with ease.

But you want to be careful that you can still demonstrate your intent to hold. 

Tenant shall not make any repairs alterations or improvements in or about the Premises including painting wallpapering adding or changing locks installing antenna or satellite dishes placing signs displays or exhibits or using screws, fastening devices.I wouldn't have minded the swing so much if the tenant hadn't already demonstrated in the past that he is quite savvy with the lease when I had requested that he provide receipts for maintenance items that the lease specified that the renter is required to take care of. 

So they'll let you buy any bad deal if you've got the income for it.I've recently put together a 1% deal calculator to demonstrate realistic income and expenses on a different post.Here's the link: Summary. 3% cash on cash return with normal expenses and a .87 debt coverage using US Bank's commercial division pro-forma. 1.25 debt coverage ratio is required to fund the loan. 1.00 debt coverage means you're breaking even each month.

Yes, of course, this is true - it was an easy example with easy numbers to demonstrate the scenario.

I've never seen that term used in cases where loans between related parties were under dispute.I would be more interested in demonstrating the interest was reasonable based market research, there is evidence of repayment, evidence of any collateral, consistent treatment as a loan on both tax forms, inclusion of interest income for him and interest deductions for you, there were provisions for enforcement of collection on nonpayment, amortization schedule, etc.Remember, it is canon that substance takes precedence to form.

We felt due to the relocation and it previously being under contract, the seller would be more inclined to negotiate.We also demonstrated financial strength by being pre-approved (not just pre-qualified), having a higher down payment for earnest money, and a quicker due diligence deadline.
