I've had one tenant on a month-to-month for 15 years now.Invariably I will have new tenants ask for minor updates (so far just color of paint) and I couch that with saying that I generally don't entertain those requests until they've been there for a year.  

Shedd).Hope this post was helpful, or at least mildly entertaining.

Really they won't entertain any source of payment that is part of another loan.

@Duy NguyenWhen I get direct mail for my properties, I entertain the offer, but those who send the direct mail never respond to me.

I would like to joke about it, but I would say, "I would do it if I weren't new to this passion and if I really wanted the entertainment."

I wanted to reach out to see if you would have any interest in selling it or if you would be interested in entertaining an offer?

I typically do not even entertain it because I know the work involved and then the expected return for hours put in.

My question is, do I go talk to a hard money lender to secure a loan for the balance BEFORE I even know the owners would entertain this offer?

@Jon Kessler Oh, I'll entertain a story.

I'm afraid we have too many constitutional authorities educated by Fox News entertaining such nonsense as it is Bryan.
