To help raise money on the deal, I'd be advertising the modified, "happy dance" deal to your database and marketing for future JV partners.Yes, you can co-name your funding partners on the assignment of mortgages...that's a very common practice and done all the time.  

Yes - On the MF I have in Cleveland, Common areas monthly and in-unit on report of any bugs.Just spent a bunch of money on sewer and storm water line clearing.

Another aspect is here health and likelihood of ending up in a nursing home, that sale can come back in her determination of assets to qualify for benefits.

You will probably have to look around since short term is more common.

Investors have slowed down quite a bit due to pricing and I am sure that is common in other areas as well.

A sub2, then negotiate a short pay off as the title holder....maybe, but not common.

Hey Antonio,It is a common misconception that soft pulls will hurt your score if there is a large cumulative amount of them.

If there is damage you have to collect that separately.There is also a government brochure that has to be handed out with the lease which sets out some of the more common landlord and tenant rights and responsibilities.

In any event make sure to see the property and find any issues with it "meaning repairs needed".At the end of the day you have a common ground with your neighbor and work this because if you get him to trust you he'll give you his house only if you are truly providing a solution SOLVE HIS NEEDS and make a deal happen.Hope this tid bit helpped!

RyanYeah....Don't do that...I doubt it is legal to do that in many places but sure as heck not in Tenant-achusetts.You can't even charge an application fee (Some people work around this with different terminology).Good rule of thumb around here is anything that might benefit you and is common sense is probably a violation of tenant-landlord law
