The tenant may have been long winded but only because they provided a detailed explanation and in my experience what they say sounds legitimate.

Do I have a legitimate claim against my contractors surety bond for negligence?

I called the city Landlord-Tenant Relations Office, and they said providing space heaters was legitimate and she could not withhold rent if I had offered them.I looked up when this went in, Dec 2010, that makes 7 years of trouble free service, so I think the utility tech was an asshat to tell her the heater was underpowered.

Bribes may be part of doing business but fall into a grey area in regards to actual legitimate expences. 

An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary.Advertising cost - direct mail and online advertising sound like legitimate expenses.Bandit sign costs might be a grey area if it is considered illegal in your area.Track your mileage costs to and from potential wholesale properties.You may be entitled to take a deduction if you take a distressed seller to lunch.

They are all legitimate ways to buy and sell, and all very different.As I said before "flipping a contract" is not wholesaling and causes confusion when discussed that way.

It's a legitimate question that needs to be answered if you're going to consider renting to them.

They are harder to find, more difficult to secure because of more sophisticated sellers who WILL want a legitimate POF.And on top of that there are fewer buyers for them also.I would start out on the lower end of your market. 

Whatever you decide to do, you should get them  to sign a month to month agreement to legitimize their tenancy.

The numbers they run seems pretty legitimate and it cuts down the hassle of talking to my lender.
