I was in contact with a mid-20s age eastern euro guy who spoke English well but seem/acted as in a classic TV/movie "Russian mafia" style. 

Fully rented to three tenants with yearly lease, to expire May 2015, July 2015 and August 2015.However. in reading over the lease - the seller has written into each of the lease that internet and cable TV are included with rent.Investigating further, it is a personal Comcast account to the seller, and it's a SFR account, he has a cable modem in the laundry room, with coax cables running to the individual units, and tenants have the WIFI WEP password.Obviously when the purchase is completed the account will be deactivated, and I am going to have to figure out a way to provide cable TV and internet service in accordance to the lease.In speaking to the tenants, yes they use both, and yes they depend on both.As a matter of preferences, I have never provided any of this to my tenants, I would rather not if I can avoid it.I believe my options are:(1) Negotiate with the seller to maintain the account in his personal name for now...he continues to pay for the bill and I would reimburse him for it. 

hi,still figuring things out in this forum, but here's a quick story how i got here.have a full time job, but love home improvement. always wanted to get into REI, and loved "flip this house" type shows on TV. but never knew how it works.

The one good thing I tend to see around here is that a lot of people tend to rack up some pretty high credit card debt, buy fancy cars that end up getting repossessed, etc, but at the end of the day they often understand that they and their kids need a place to live and so typically the concept of getting evicted is far more scary than having collections call because you didn't make payments on the 60" TV.

I remember two meetings we spent the entire time debating wither we should buy a $500 TV or $750 TV for the clubhouse. 

Their CEO, Ephren Taylor has been on a number of TV shows and they have a turnkey program for investing in real estate with a positive cash flow.

It saves me a lot of times while my older kids take over my computer and my younger ones force me to watch 'Wow Wow Wubzy' on tv.

My tenant gets just about every handout there is, yet she still has money for tattoos, piercings, cell phone, wide screen TV, her daughter's room is filled with toys, house is very nicely decorated, etc.I have another tenant that gets temporary rental assistance.

If you buy a TV for $500 do you care if it's marked up 500% if you thought it was worth $500?

So, it's illegal to give a tv or free rent to get someone to sign a lease.
