And brokers that use that old formWhen done correctly, these “deals” are not illegal.I’d say they are more for ‘advanced’ REI and certainly carry some risk when the deal goes bad.From what I see, the problems are investors are not following every requirement in NCGS Ch47G, and/or their contract for leasehold interest is flawed, and/or they lose their buyer.So if you connect with a homeowner that is looking to sell their property and has already contracted with a broker, do you typically stray away from those deals because they might resist these more “creative” approaches?

You will get a lot less resistance with this approach.

It is far better to wait a little while to start and follow the path of least resistance.

Window units seem to be just as efficient anyway in my experience; It's the resistance heat that can get expensive but they do make window units now that operate in reverse cycle and there's also 2 ton ductless systems on ebay for about $950 that'd require minimal time to install.

I like the path of least resistance especially dealing in small dollar amounts.

One familiar reason is NIMBYs ...while it is important that local residents have input on new housing, their resistance to new development is "heightened" especially in coastal California, and it's slowing down the ability of developers to build more housing to alleviate the stress on the limited housing supply. - sourceAnd while the average project approval time for new construction is about four months nationally, it takes eight months on average in L.A.To recap, here are some of the challenges inhibiting development in LA:Getting entitlements for new development is expensive and timelyNIMBYism and the control of local communities over the planning process adds tremendous risk as a project could be stopped due to law suits, lack of approvals, or requirements which make deals unprofitableThe high cost of land and entitlements coupled with a lack of incentives restricts the pool of developers who can afford to developBecause it is so challenging to develop and because we have such a shortage of housing, developers can only make their deals profitable if they target high-end buyers, further contributing to macro-gentriction wherein only the affluent can own homesThat said, it isn't impossible for a developer to develop.

And like everyone some tenants will resist but you just need to decide if you want to grandfather them in and be strict on any new inbounds by putting it in the tenant acknowledgements.

The latter is, oftentimes, the path of least resistance in relation to having a tenant leave early.
