If you ever have to go to court on something like this you will be in the odd position of being both the landlord and the tenant, so I would leave nothing to chance or interpretation.Personally, I agree with Nathan - I'd have real questions about any potential tenants that were OK with this kind of arrangement. 

What I also enjoy is when people put out articles with contradicting view points and in six months or a year point to the - "see how correct i was", well yeah you placed bets on both red, black and green so you were going to be correct because you bet on all options.

If your bet is appreciation, bet your underlying fixed costs go up.

Perhaps not a trend to consider across the city but any neighborhood that would attract college educated young professional families seems to be a good bet if you wanted to focus on this asset type.I plan to build 12 townhomes as a second phase of a condo/townhome project in a good area of Mount Airy near the Chestnut Hill boarder and even though I’m likely to years away from being ready to begin phase 2, my current plans are to keep the 12 homes as rentals for the precise reasons I outlined above.  

These are just Marketing ploys to try and get you to sign up for a program and the odds of being successful are pretty much zero.

My bet remains the same though.

I went went through some "odd" experiences with a couple of other PMs in Cleveland and after firing them I ended up with AllStar Management, which is who he is with.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

My audit was settled by NYS first, before the feds, which is odd because the state usually follows whatever the feds do.

It was odd for them as I has long term jobs os a seafere working for overseas companies (I'm not a US citizen) they didn't know how to deal with it, it took too long and then I could find a property that worked.
