Nothing is usual or unusual, it's all up to what you guys want to negotiate.

We came across an unusual situation on a buying trip to Idaho recently.

I don't think that's unusual.

If there is no lease this week, I have decided to replace him because he is charging me $100/month even though the unit is vacant (higher than what he will charge me when unit is occupied), but he won't charge extra for tenant replacement, which is unusual among PMs.

Moving on....With this caliber of homeseller, this honestly isn't unusual.

It's possible they have an unusual situation .As an example, there is a house near me people ask about: shortsale $300,000.

Like I suggested a few posts up, he just had to get something in writing from the 1031 exchange facilitator confirming that this is on the up-and-up, since it's a relatively unusual scenario.

@Joshua Springer it was such an unusual deal that I was concerned with that.

And no, working 4 hours a day for a contractor is highly unusual, but this is just a taste of the potential issues you may run into with contractors.

Also, if you evict, it's unusual for your tenant to show up at court to defend themselves.
