Hello Bigger Pockets Community.  

@Dylan LonswayWelcome to bigger pockets.

I am new to Bigger Pockets and rehabbing, I am located in Orange County NY about an hour North of NYC.

@Dennis VillamorWelcome to bigger pockets.

(never thought of this until I've started listening to the Bigger Pocket Podcasts) it's brilliant, if it will work.

@Cris Zerriny Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

@Curtis EakinsWelcome to bigger pockets.

This has been their arrangement for almost twenty years (the tenant has lived in three of the landlord's properties, all located in California) and from inception there was never a written agreement for this arrangement.Now the landlord wants to have them sign a lease and write them checks for the work that is being performed, which apparently is to be cashed and returned right back to the landlord as the rent payment.
