@Larry Nielsen We’ve found a great way to raise rent is:Determine market rentShare the proof with the tenant (they can see it on Zillow anyways)Tell the tenant, given your rent is $x and market rent is $y, what do you think if a fair increase?

I would include in your future offers that you want sellers to show proof of lead cert, if not have them pay for it as a part of the sale if it is not present. 

this is old  tried and true method of simply having you pay them to get credit cards .. there is no need to pay for this service.. unless you want to of course.. there is no magic bullet ut there that is going to give you credit and financing unless you actually qualify for it.But zero interest credit cards are used by some to do rehab and then pay them off issue is though your fico score drops like a rock the second you take on all these CC.Also starting out there is zero chance of getting any kind of business line of Credit that is unsecured.

As an investor-focused agent in the Cleveland market I always have my clients write the following contingencies in when buying a house that's tenant occupied:1) Offer contingent on home inspection- usually a 7-10 day contingency period, this contingency allows you to either A) move forward with the deal B) renegotiate the price if issues are found, or C) walk away from the deal2) Offer contingent on appraisal if you're going financing3) Seller to provide copy of current lease agreement4) Seller to provide a rent roll/tenant ledger with proof of payments received5) Seller to provide copies of 3 previous months of any utilities paid by the landlord6) Seller and tenants to fill out Estoppel Certificate.

Have owner provide proof of payment (likely no one will give this to you until you are under contract)

Our lease agreements allow tenants to leave without penalty if they can provide proof of contract termination.

From direct ACH, last place I thought of checking.I was suspicious though half way, but couldn't find any proof that I was charged $99 every month in his membership area, nor was there a cancel button, and there was barely any content in that area, so I thought I wasn't charged, further maybe I wasn't even a member, and stopped researching. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I'm in contract to sell now, with the buyer looking for proof that the building is a 2-family.  

Proof of liquidity for the down payment is good enough.
