I would argue (in the absence of any actual knowledge of NH law on this subject) that the effective date of the lease is the date the lease agreement was signed by both parties.  

My wife and I love the books "Million Dollar RE Agent" by Gary Keller, "Million dollar investor" by Gary Keller, and "The Abcs of Commercial Real Estate investing" by Ken McElroy.

I get it that plenty have condos they lease and will argue there fine because it's what there doing, I get that, but it's more a argument of ego vs metrics.

While you are still working and waiting to pay off your debt I would check out these books: Million Dollar RE agent by Gary Keller, Million dollar investor by Gary Keller, and The Abcs of Commercial Real Estate investing by Ken McElroy.

I'm sure many here would argue that's a steal; others may consider that to be highway robbery.

They are experienced negotiators.If you think you can do as well as an agent with 20 years of experience, then I would argue you've never worked with a quality agent and don't understand the value they bring to the table.
