Anyway, if you mean throw out the existing tenants, I doubt you can do anything other than go thruogh the eviction process.As for your intent, it sounds like you are trying to lay funny with the OO requirements, which is never a simple thing to do.

You just sign some papers and attend closings.

I have a simple excel format I use for evaluating houses from a first-look value perspective.If you use the tabs at the bottom of excel, it shouldn't be hard to organize your marketing analysis on paper.

That being said, if in your position, with a friend that has money making them 1% or -% in the market, I would work out a simple deal where they could invest the capital and earn simple interest between 5-10% on a loan amortized over 30 years, with a balloon due in 5 or 10 years, or as far out as they will go.

Don't just look in the paper, or online, actually GO to open houses, etc. and find out what's on the market, what you get for the money, etc.

So, I would start by writing a formal offer on paper, either on a standard state contract (if you have one) or on another reasonable contract template.

Use contact paper or just plain semi-gloss paint over smooth drywall.

Yes its a regional thing, your area may differ but its as simple as calling your local housing coordinator.

Agree with Michael Woodward.I will submit high bids for my services for what might seem like vary simple projects to the prospective client, but for some reason something about the project or the client sets off liability alarm bells in my brain.

Is it still recommended that I speak to an attorney or is this situation simple enough that doing it myself through Legal Zoom should suffice?
