Normally you have to provide all the furniture and other living items (towels, dishware, tools for the grill, etc).

The estimate that I have is a complete itemized breakup of labor and material costs and includes everything from roofing, windows, furnace, kitchens, bathrooms, everything.

Has anyone has any success putting tenants into lease option programs with buyers who could not get traditional financing?

One big maintenance item could wipe out that $291 for a long time. 8)

This IS the 21st century, and a quality tenant is likely going to expect these items in a middle class type rental.

Traditional lending is wearing me OUT!!

Technically most places require you to store the items and notify the people.

Some of the items happen in a specific order while others can happen in parallel without any specific linkage.The list of things is pretty good.

These are the kinds of opportunities that are out there now if you're willing to look outside the United States.I guess a third item would be the recent boom in foreclosures- it seems we may have another mini-golden age of foreclosures.

Like people who are name droppers to gain creditability.Many of the deals that are handled over the counter and outside of traditional channels have something odd about them.
