If RESIDENT should move from the premises prior to the expiration of this time period, he shall be liable for all rent due until such time that the Residence is occupied by an OWNER approved paying RESIDENT and/or expiration of said time period, whichever is shorter.

You can serve that 7-day notice to evict (or whichever notice you use) every single month if you need to.

I am not in a postoin where I can get started with that many homes whichever is why I want to get started with a smaller amount.

It is my job to educate them on the market of both and then represent them on whichever way they want to proceed but I much rather represent them on something I know will make them money vs lose money.

Whichever bank will work with you and has the best terms I would do business with.  

I am kind of pondering whether to do VM or direct to cell phone via Google Voice (I'll take suggestions on another service like Cricket) and also whether to have a 1800 number or local number. 

I'm going to say what nobody seems to say.If you aren't part of the political "in crowd" there, chances are you're due diligence efforts are going to be wasted.If you are talking to receptionists,,,,,,,,,,The guys who get there deals done, have the real decision makers private cell phone numbers, and know each other on a close first name basis

This is not to denigrate Alan's course [it was an, interesting, read... ] but it was constructed pre-2008, before the SEC and many state regulators started becoming more viligant at monitoring the increasing number of real estate investors issuing securities [if you are raising capital from investors to invest in real estate....]Whichever course you elect to use, or not, or self-educate, seeking out an active attorney current on your state's and federal SEC law is ESSENTIAL, before you mail out any post cards inviting folks to luncheons or otherwise ADVERTISE for investors [as Alan's course advocated when I perused it].The red flag to state regulators is when ads appear, if the advertiser has not complied with the proper state registrations prior to soliciting investors through advertising, you've just created a HUGE target for yourself in most states.....On the other hand, a good attorney practicing in your state's PPM or private offering realm can protect you, and review your offering to investors....and save you some stiff penalties[you've probably heard of the one old school very successful investor, sort of the grand daddy in the private investors area, was actually shut down, for a comparatively MINOR failure to maintain proper paperwork, i.e. whether funds would be returned to investors after each project, or rolled over to the next project..., simple paperwork, had it been drafted correctly, and then proper records maintained]Best of luckBob

The warranty deed is very important because without it several title comanies will not "guarantee" their title search which is what gives the buyer an guarantee of clear title.A quit claim deed just does not do this adequately.Then when filing with the county, no matter what the property is sold for, there is often a question that you will have to answer that says that the amount listed is the amount paid for the property OR the actual value of the property WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
