If she's a tenant any landlord would want and she can afford the rent long-term, then your buyer will be getting a good deal and you'll get out of the property with minimal damage.If she's a problem tenant, however, then you're selling a problem to someone that they're locked into for the duration of the lease.

It's best to get a layer of salt down first to keep the snow/ice from bonding with the pavement, then it's going to be up to the equipment and manpower at your disposal as well as the predicted snowfall totals, duration of event, mixes of snow and ice as well as how clear you need to keep the areas.

Perhaps this is a silly question, but here it is: if I plan on flipping a house, should I take out a home owners policy on the house for the duration of my ownership?

As such, I am looking at lease option deals of limited duration.

Even so, it doesn't relieve the borrower from meeting the obligation or the ability to pay in combination with the factors mentioned above.The term of the transaction can be a factor as well, a seller financed note that is of a short duration, less than a year for example, should be under less risk considerations if there is no other risk activity, like construction.

The main benefit to a transactional loan is that the “C” buyers funds are in escrow at the time you fund the A-B transaction and that they are irrevocable for the very short duration of your loan (like literally minutes or a few hours).

Hi Kevin,Unless the property is fairly new, you should be able to purchase, or take over a time-share from a private individual just about anywhere you want one for ZERO or less (read that as the seller may be so sick and tired of continually paying maintenance fees on something they never use, that they might pay for your first or even 2nd year maintenance just to get you to assume the responsibilities they have for the duration of their agreement with the property owner/management company).

Unfortunately, this also has a tendency to affect overall project durations!

I was leaning toward using an HML in exchange for a percentage of each deal for the duration of our partnership...

You are paying rent for the duration of the lease.What you are describing  sounds more like an owner financed sale.It looks like the seller is selling because the property is not cash flowing.
