I’ve had my fair share of obstacles, too, so hear me when I say this—it’s normal to feel stuck sometimes.

The thing is, is this normal?

I strictly use them to trade into places I really want to go and I can never, ever beat the price I pay for a week as compared to normal rentals rates which are three to seven times higher per night.  

Gambling addiction,drug addiction, seems familiar.

@Chris Seveney, it's confusing becuase you may not want to believe what I've stated assuming the NORMAL process of a closing happend. 

It should also make AL licenses transferable again.In any case you can do short term rental without the AL license as well, as long as you register each contract with finanças as a normal rental.

Normally speaking, only banks give long term financing.

Now I straight up said there has to be some kind of contract and price and they did cover it with me (I don't know if they normally do that or only did it because I asked), however the price is $15k-40K or more.For me this is a major red flag and irresponsible.

I would say today 40-50% of your income goes towards normal operating expenses. 50% if you want to include replacement reserves which you should.

So if it's a slow time, and in the showing when the tenant ask, we would say if you sign a lease by this time we will throw in these items that's normally tenant's responsibility.
