Hi, I am a healthcare professional with currently renting office space.

Background is she’s about 4 months behind in total rent, original lease ended in December, now going month to month because I didn’t want to put her out as she’s a single mother with 3 kids (also didn’t have the bandwidth to go through the eviction process because this property is in another city)I hired a property manager to help and we’ve recouped a bit of money but she’s still about 6500 owed.

Can/Should I use a generic tenant contract from Google or should I hire a lawyer to help me craft one? 

If you have specific questions or encounter challenges along the way, seeking guidance from professionals in the real estate financing industry can be beneficial. 

The importance of creating a professional transaction can also protect both parties.

We require acceptable printed documentation of income (preferably showing year to date total earnings; hiring letter if new job plus last paystub), savings (they can redact the actual account number, but it must have enough identifying info to prove whose account it is), or whatever applies to their situation (passports, green cards, trust documents).

@Timothy Douglas are you an investor or licensed professional?

For your first unit, unless hiring outside management which means giving up 20% of earnings, you're going to have quite a hurdle to operate a place remotely.I don't necessarily think looking at market specific data around the country and thinking you can just dive into that market and do well makes much sense.

Personally, this could not be worse news for my buyer/investor focused growing business, however my role is not going away anytime soon..For example, there have been numerous instances where the amount of price negotiation exceeded my compensation or transactions that without my (or a professionals) participation would likely not be as efficient, feasible or successful.

If your past flips were profitable and on budget, if you have a solid crew, and if you're buying homes at 65% (+/-) of ARV, you can put the details of your past flips ( on paper (pdf) or in a short, professional looking video and be prepared to send the pdf or video link to potential private money lenders who you are intentionally seeking out.
