Tenants like this make a trial run on something small, like a lightbulb out when they move in.

Docusign is the biggest and has a free 30 day trial.

I have applied the majority of what you wrote due to the trial and errors I've had in the past.  

Leads - from the internet or run ads in local papers.Negotiate the price on the phoneMake a trial offer - a trial offer is an offer well below what they wanted - a TRIAL OFFER  will smoke out their true motivation.Always ask for contract candy - that is anything they can add to the deal - all the furniture, owner financing, interest free note for their balance or part of it, a car, money back at settlement etc.Send a skinny contract for electronic signaturesGet it inspected, have agents look at it, get compsIf my offer is too high, go into second stage negotiations (lowering the offer).Advertise the property for sale - if no takers - have a public auction.With remote investing the United States is your market - learn how to do it and you will always have leads, deals and settlements.Good luck,Charles

[ "sure its a blatant plug for me – But what have you got to lose with a 7 day FREE Trial"]and if the law firm he refers to for the class action, actually specialized in class actionsand had more than one lawyer from at least a top 30 law school [with the exception, as far as I could see, of the one UCLA Law grad listed]

I'll be starting clinical rotations in about 5 months and I'll basically be moving from city to city each month for just shy of a year.  

Maybe see if they have a two- or three-month trial period and take the gamble. 

Its a great area with trials and all amenities closely situated, so I'd love to grab another PUD property.

The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.

Who knows this tenant might be fine but the next well it's a toss up...You might think about letting your dad sell the property and asking him for some $$ to invest in a property in Rochester instead or to partner with you, with all the new jobs going on there and the Mayo Clinic the housing climate is going to continue to get hotter and that's where your at, and able to manage a closer rental property from.If you do choose to take the deal make sure because it's sensible.
