Increasingly, tenants are requesting that their on time rent payments be reported to the credit bureaus.

Hi @Ben Roberts, I let sellers stay in their homes very often. its a good selling point.I do rent back or delays closing. usually anything from 2-8 months depend on the property and the upside i have in it.If i need to obtain consents / Permits from the City for subdivision or any consent im happy to give them 6 months so i cut the holding costs.If its winter and I rather rehab on flip in the summer im happy for them to stay too.Some time rent back is better for the buyer if they have deadline for loan "pre qualification" so you know you IN and used you PQ.

I hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen and I left my wallet there.

Our capex should be relatively low because we bought this property off market and then did new roof, blown in insulation, windows, kitchen with new appliances.

It literally ruined the experience with the house, which is unfortunate because other than being on a relatively busy city road it does have a lot to offer (gorgeous kitchen, finished basement, cedar wrapped indoor pool, 6-person hot tub). 

I approached them in a way that I would rehab the kitchen and raise their rents to market.

A single family house we manage is under contract to be sold, and during the due diligence phase the inspector left the water running in the kitchen and the bathroom for a full two hours.

I am normally obsessive about order in the kitchen, especially around the stove.
