You don't know if his new career choice in his first week is trafficking sex slaves through austin....Or if he has a nice habit of blasting music at midnight....You get the point.....Someone without a steady full time job/school has proven trouble to me in tenants with too much time on their hands....

If possible, have any background music or television sound turned off during the walk-around.

., mortgages for a brief stint, flirted with the idea of rehabbing and had my license at one point but went into the music biz instead.

But, you can't really understand music until you understand the metrics, tempo, rhythm, tone, the symmetry that brings us to an emotional state. 

This past weekend I installed additional wifi and instrumented my pool to monitor and log the temperature over the internet.I've got two questions for everyone1.

Walked in around 11am, heard tenants blaring music!

Your biggest opportunity, IMHO, is to focus on the educational aspects of investing, including different real estate types, advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as paper (notes) and other instruments for cash flow.

°When reviewing a written instrument, courts must look to what the parties thought they were getting—the intent should be gathered from the written language.

I understand that using a Land Contract in Kentucky (a judicial foreclosure state) is not advantageous at all for the seller due to a legal determination from the late '70's...apparently:  a Land Contract is essentially equivalent to a mortgage instrument thereby giving the buyer "equitable interest" in the property once any payments are made.  

Except for mortgages covering agricultural lands or for mortgages covering single or two-family dwellings owned by or held in trust for natural persons owning or holding such dwelling as their residence, the mortgagor may agree in the mortgage instrument to a shorter period of redemption than 12 months or may wholly waive the period of redemption."
