I've kind of adopted the approach honestly to not bog myself in CPA type of considerations in terms of making decisions. 

@Tara KinneyThat may be an excellent approach...but the optimal approach depends on more factors than can be adequately addressed in a forum:What is the value of the tax deductions?

If you approach the attorney or real estate agent before you have the means to fund the project, they won't take you seriously.

A month and a half later, as the final 30 days of his current lease approached, I sent, via certified mail, a nonrenewal notice due to his lack of response and therefore rejection of new lease.It was THEN that he signed and returned the new lease.

I will connect with my local utility companies on this approach. 

I approached motivated for sale by owners, preforeclosures and owners in distress via phone.

I just am trying to understand if when you approach a wholesale opportunity do you literally say “I help buyers get into homes” ?

I am likely going to include all utilities and internet in the rental price for sake of ease, but I wanted to hear how other people have done it or get feedback on this approach.

If there is anyone who focuses on this niche, I would love to discuss how to approach this, JV if possible, and QC some things between us.

Any recommendations on a different approach for meeting these experienced people?
