I was more curious to see if anyone uses a move-in or damage report form requiring tenants to confirm they’ve reviewed the unit and accept it as-is, with no issues.

Ive done A/B testing to see if going through my mortgage broker, or going directly to the bank would produce a better result.

Even if that is not your intention, the IRS could decide that is what it was which would mean that the seller would have lost his 1031 ability since he "sold" you the house when he accepted the first payment.

Most of my renters choose #1 because it provides a clean break.I document everything and I don't accept the early termination notice or start the clock until they pay the termination fee. 

Registered agent is in case you need to be served legal papers, they will accept them on your behalf unless you would want to be served at your home or work, and technically it must be a place where you are available between working hours. 

SpaceX now has a rocket testing center right outside of Waco, Amazon is currently building a huge distribution center in Waco, and BSR Surf Resort & Cable Park built the #1 wave pool and cable park in the world, making Waco an international surf and wakeboard destination.  

Just be honest with people and they have the ability to accept or deny the terms.

What kind of return you can accept depends wholly on you.

That's very acceptable and reasonable. 

If I were to hazard a guess, would be lucky to get 1 in 20 bids accepted.
