You will most likely get more responses if you break up this post and put it into the loan/finance (something like that) forum section and the legal or LLC questions subforum.Best of luck, you sound secure with alot of people wanting to go in on a deal with you which is great!

I think my best bet at this point would be to swing by for the next big rain as I can't really just show up and flood their yard with a hose.So if I see any issues with water drainage, next step would be to possibly break up some of these areas and create a concrete swale for this area?  

To me all the school rating seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.I don't think it has much to do with length of a renter to stay put.Anyone can live anywhere they want (or they or Section-8 can afford).Forever renters (IMO) seems to stay put longer, if they have market equal housing, are treated like customers vs pests, maintenance requests are handled promptly, and rent increases do not jump too huge for them too quickly (and in some instances do not have relationship issues/breakups or are PITA Renters to the owner or other renters.A forever renter example might be Mr works retail, Mrs works waitress, kids or not, or Ms. is a hairdresser and sister Ms. is a receptionist, or Section-8 working or not.A non-long term renter might be Mr. is going through law school or is an MD in the area for residency time, or other person on a career path that typically includes home ownership.I'm not talking here about any type of protected classes here, which would be against the Fair Housing Laws, because it's important we all follow the laws.As far as the schools go:They teach you how to read and writeThey teach you how to countThey teach you how to buy and sellYour own body by the poundDon't be blind to the factThat the hand you holdIs the hand that holds you down.As I said above, to me, all the school rating  seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.It's not that I'm anti-school--it's just that they ALL could be so much better.It just seems like babysitting and jumping through useless hoops.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Hi, So my tenants stop paying rent because they had a nasty breakup apparently and long story short, hubby left with all wifeys money and wifey couldn't keep it together.

It sounds like he doesn't want to add her because in the event they break up and she is on the lease then it will become a situation for both of them. 

The break-up value could protect you easily if you needed to sell off property or wanted to raise cash for other opportunities.I haven't done this, and maybe this won't work from a lender perspective, but do you have a lot of equity in your other properties?

My definition of married is that you need an attorney to break up, which would be the case in most partnerships. 

When couples break up do allow one person to take over the lease or do you deny the request since he took on the responsibility of being liable for rent for the year?

And this specific scenario just happened to me; I have had three very specific and clear conversations with my two tenants about the sensitivity of the machine and how their laundry day will go much more smoothly if they just break up a huge load into maybe two or three smaller ones.

If he takes off or they break up it does not excuse him from paying and you could go after him alone for all the money owed.
