Apply dry cleaning solvent. 3.

As our ability to purchase on our own dries up, we are seeking equity partners for new deals.

You can have automatic renewals of a contract but you can have issues if they are not well thought out and drafted properly.AR contracts mat renew for like terms if notice to terminate is not given, if either party misses that date either party could have regrets.Your contract may have an escalation rent clause, fine, but what happens if some city ordinance or some common practice in your area changes, perhaps from some law suit, you can't modify you lease if it automatically renewed.Any lease that can be automatically renewed beyond 3 years can trigger the due on sale clause of your mortgage too.Automatic renewals may be viewed as a tenant having a first right of refusal by some judge, if any change is required it can be adopted and a tenant barks or they agree they may be viewed as first in line since they live there.Some states cover the issue as well, so I'd suggest doing a new lease each year, for the cost of 6 or 8 pieces of paper it can make like easier. :)

Did you pull the trigger on this type of deal/lease back?

Once the grout dried it was remarkably lighter.

This means you need to have financing in place should you need to pull the trigger and buy it yourself.  

And it eventually sucked me dry and I had to turn it all over to a PM.

I would soak the interior, then leave all doors open to let dry.

Its been an awesome source of income for us but they do have a private bath and dry kitchen.

Have them set you up on auto search's so you get the hot sheet every day.. look at the ones your interested in do a drive by and if you want to pull the trigger then call your agent and make offer..
