He will do you more harm then good so you really need for him to cancel your contract.

Correct them right away and tell them cleaning the bathroom is a must, but also that mildew is not harmful.

This triggers a conversation where I explain my intentions are not to cause harm to anyone or take advantage of anyone in this business and that I am making this my career (then they calm down and relax). 2) As an agent working on creative deals, how do you navigate your relationship with your Employing Broker?

We'd like to move closer to our workplaces and find an apartment alternative while our house rents. 

However, with the home office as your "workplace", all miles driven to/from there are deductible at the .50/mile IRS rate (For 2010).

Last thing you want (even with insurance) is to have a major problem in the unit, which harms your potential tenants.

If you want to know what happened, why not pick up the phone, call the listing agent, and ask ... they may not tell you, but no harm in asking, right?

However, there's no harm in multi-tasking either.

You could make a fortune on a "0.5% rule" property or lose your behind on a "2% rule" property, and in fact I personally have done both.Bottom line is there are many factors to consider when analyzing a property ... any rule of thumb that tries to shortcut this process by leaving out these other important factors is likely to do more harm than good and therefore should be ignored IMO.

Can’t see the harm.....if it goes worst case and the tenant wants to/can buy the property, and you end up in court, the tenant would prevail anyway.
