Never react to what your tenant says, only to what they do as it relates to the lease agreement in place.

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

How does a landlord make you pay too much for a property that you signed a lease on?

@Will Jones, we are in the process of putting an offer on a piece of land in where we will build a building for one of my businesses and then lease out the rest of the space.  

I called the leasing broker and asked if the owner would be open to an offer.

One PM company I dealt with back in San Diego... thankfully not in OC... buried costs for advertising and re-leasing in their contracts.

He was a consultant that was in town frequently and hated hotels. 

I'm not saying this is necessarily the right answer, but I did not really put anything in my lease as far as guidelines for sharing responsibilities of common areas.

How would I go about finding a sober living operator that could sign for a lease?
