It is important for a landlord to fight for every provision in their favor for a lease because when you go to sell the center if you obligate the buyer to future reduced rental increases, non-cumulative caps on cams, etc. then buyer will want higher cap rate to compensate on the purchase.

The purpose of a cosigner is to be able to collect rent from a responsible party if the primary on the lease fails to pay.I would also charge a higher deposit to compensate for the additional risk and consider a month to month agreement in case both the primary and cosigner default on the agreement.Renting to college students with parents as cosigners works well for many landlords but exercise caution here.

Cap rates have to raise up to compensate for the interest rates and as we all know, cap rate goes up, prices comes down. 2.

I would prefer the management's compensation to be aligned with the performance of the property for the investor.

Also, you should always include Property Management in your analysis, even if you're going to do it yourself.1) Your time is valuable and you should be compensated for it. 2) At some point, you may want to hand off the day-to-day management and spend your time/effort finding new deals.I know this is your 1st deal, don't talk yourself into a property where the numbers don't work.If this were me, I'd pass. 

If you are providing more value than what you are compensated and your students are going on to become better and a success then more power to you and you would be in the minority.

If the one sibling wsnts the house, then that sibling should buy if from the estate using a mortgage if necessary, so that the other siblings get their share without concerns of sharing liabilities without being compensated for doing so. 

For this hypothetical, assume this just occurred and that the landlord is making every effort to re-rent, while seeking compensation.

In my opinion, she is providing a tremendous amount of value for her compensation through these services alone.Of course, I am not buying rentals and she understands that we will list properties with her on the back end of our flips.

You may administer investments, but may not personally benefit such as by use of IRA held properties, compensation from the IRA (other than taxable distributions to you) or co-mingling of personal and IRA funds.
