Thanks, MichaelI attend CashFlow game meetup groups to meet with other investors.

To me, it was like a game or score card, every time I'd get a property I would calculate my net-worth, I liked to watch it grow.

He simply wants his time back and is ready to get out of the game, as he puts it.

The numbers game it provides is very intriguing for me, and the opportunity for growth excites me.

The reason is often cited from judges ruling on the enforcement of those instruments has to do with recognizing that the buyer/borrower is actually earning equity and is granted a greater level of interest in the real property than that of a typical renter.  

A simple call to the local code enforcement agency should be able to reveal any outstanding liens and fines.

But, what if this person is impatient and wants to get into the game now and start making money immediately in this business?

I heard this on a podcast and is something to consider if you are playing the long game. 3.

While I wouldn't want someone living there who doesn't want to stay, I would hold him responsible per the lease until a qualified replacement is found or enforce any early termination clause currently in the lease as this is his problem to solve, not yours.       

You're way to early in the game to worry about advanced negotiating skills.
