What's financial strength of the guarantor (either way) if the owner of that franchise is Mark Cuban and he personally guarantees the lease, do you even care what the franchise is selling?!

@James Jones, @Neil Goradia, @Dmitriy Fomichenko, @Mark Radford, Thank you for the friendly welcome.

@Anthony Thompson yes that is true sometimes but as long as it is under 5% of the purchase price it is usually not a problem.

@Anthony McEvoy we don’t live together now.

It hit almost all my check marks and was in budget.The agent told me that he was talking to a another client in California and was going to show him this house next week.

Ok, I agree it has served me well with the few I've done and allowed me to quit my day job with income left over to save a tad monthly based on a very modest lifestyle.I have been fortunate to have great tenants, amazing even, with just 1 that was a nuisance to the other roommates and I was able to get rid of with minimal cost. ( Mark you, this tenant I didnt completly vet except for the background and credit checks, then handed him over to someone else to complete the process).

In theory, you could get one of those loan types that doesn't need 2 years, the rate/term would be different, but then once you hit your 2 year mark you could refinancing into better terms with a Fannie/Freddie loan. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Sure, white might show scuff marks and food stains a little more, but most will wipe right off with a damp cloth.
