my main goal is to just get the roof in before weather gets bad.is there anything I can do aside from a 3k escrow holdback suggested by my agent to prevent getting burned?  

I’ve used ChatGPT to draft both, but I’d appreciate any advice on how to ensure these contracts are legally sound and ready to use with sellers and buyers.Thank you for your time and guidance!

If the property hasn't appreciated or you haven't completed necessary renovations, you might not get the refinancing terms you expected.

You could also consider things would get a bit more wear and tear (more adults doing laundry if you provide that, etc. as a reason for higher rent).  

I’m also in the process of reaching out to people in my city/neighborhood who are experienced REIs, RE agents, and GCs to get their insight and pick their brains, start to conceptualize potential partners, etc.

Now I’m not familiar with the subject area that your question about, but you can get cash flow from day one by paying cash.

Hes amenable to moving, but I'm sure he's try to get "moving assistance or a waived last months rent" since his original lease doesn't have it in there (I used Bigger Pockets CA lease- maybe I missed it)
