Our suggestions to our clients and customers regarding regulatory law is to adapt the attitude that being guided by the most draconian of the sets is the safest course of action. 

.______________________________________________ The upfront agreementIn order for the upfront agreement to work, you need to frame it as a very fair, 2 way business agreement.Here is a possible exchange…After the walk through, you’re sitting at the kitchen table, looking at both mom and dad the sellers.I fold my hands and I looked very solemn, I try to give them is kind of an expression is possible, as sincere as possible, I have my legal pad, a pen, and a blank letter of intent in front of me.I also have a folder of comps and rental information on the subject property.So here’s the upfront agreement…Investor: “So Bob and Susan thanks for the walk through, I just wanted to talk about how I’d like to see our business relationship work.My job is to look at the property, look at all the financial information, then make a decision, on the spot.To keep coming back over and over thinking about possible deals is not what I do.What I do isif the location is right,the condition of the property is right,the layout of the property is right,the existing financing payments are right, andthe attitude of the sellers are right,then my job is to put together the deal structure that works for me,and I basically give the project the green light.Not a yellow light or a red light, but green light,the analogy here is that we go forward and get the paperwork done tonight.To keep coming back is not a good business plan, takes up too much time and nothing gets done.

I know CA has the same type of laws.So I am not sure if attitudes have changed with the big lenders or servicing companies today on alienation clauses. 

I've gotten a very negative feel regarding tenants in rentals for the most part on this board, it's really refreshing to find somebody who is willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the disabled, recently homeless, just-fleeing-the-nest sort of people, and still with a positive attitude toward them all. :)

I've posted in other posts but I am dealing with a nightmare-ish semi turnkey management team right now as well, and the kind of response and carelessness in your post completely reflect in the attitude I get from this said PM company.

Anne was irritated by his cavalier attitude" synonyms:offhand, indifferent, casual, dismissive, insouciant, unconcerned; 

You have an uncooperative tenant, with attitude, who is proving to be a rule breaker.

Everyone's experiences are going to be different, and having a positive attitude helps.  

I appreciate the positive attitude here on BP and the willingness of veterans to help out upstarts such as myself. 

Their attitude was "don't worry about it, whenever you get to it is totally fine!"
