, and lease history to name a few.Don't be lulled into complacency by seller financing either.

@Polat Caglayan We manage almost 100 S8 leases and can tell you S8 is NOT a cureall!

If the Owner wishes toterminate the agreement during an existing tenancy the owner will be held liable for payment ofmanagement fees for the duration of the existing lease as well as a $300 + GST cancelationfee.

I have a one page lease addendum to cover this, that is executed with every tenant and every lease.

Two of them were using bridge debt and had to do new capital raises to stay afloat and continue renovations and lease-ups.One refinanced within a year of our investment and has returned all our original capital back through distributions.

Some help with leasing would be great!

That said, I do this with a a few investors on rentals since I'm a Realtor and Property Manager where I am boots on the ground for purchase, rehab and lease-up, however we had a strong professional experience/life together before partnering.Lending will also be a consideration as most lenders are hesitant to lend to non-citizens given the foreclosure challenges it can pose.

We started construction in February 2025 and are planning to start leasing up in Spring of 2026." 

The same also applies when considering a lease renewal or temination. 

The old owner unfortunately locked his tenants into $800 leases which scared away some buyers before he listed.
