I'm pretty well-off, so if I want to give an older disabled lady a break on a month's rent before she has to leave the home she's lived in for 21 years, it's not really creating any danger that my kids will go without food or college tuition or tickets to Star Wars or anything.I'm really just trying to be cautious and see if there is any legal ramification I'm not considering that makes it a bad idea to give them a 1-month lease.When I start talking like this my mother would tell me to "kick the table" and get mad.   

When an investor or company puts time and energy into building a relationship with me and brings something to the table, values my time and shows me there can be a win-win for both of us, I am going to pour a lot more than just a 15 minute CMA into that relationship.  

I am never borrowing more than my total appreciation gains.Having paid off houses ensures that you will die with money on the table. 

I have a few partnerships, most are split about 50/50 with some variables depending on what each party brings to the table. 

With the solid credit quality you bring to the table, I am sure there is a local Bank that would like to have a business relationship with you.

@Steven WhiteIt's all about who brings what to the table.  

In suburban Atlanta, expect to spend at least $2,000 in advertising to each deal all the way to the closing table.  

But after the closing costs on the loan, title insurance is the next biggest ticket item at the settlement table and it's almost never cheaper for the buyer to pay that to save elsewhere.

Those are all advantages you bring to the table that traditional buyers can't.

Lay all the cards on the table!
