We structured the deal, so that the interest rate and monthly payments were graduated and rose annually based on projected rent increases.

Is there any way you would suggest structuring a deal like that.

One time the children of my tenant pushed the tank every time they sat down and it caused a huge leak which flooded the bathroom and ceiling which resulted in an expensive fix.

On the next job, I'd buy the materials for him and have them delivered and pay construction manager type of structure for him.

I was thinking a slightly rougher finish in kitchen, bathroom and laundry room for slip purposes.

Expect to see different types of business structures.

I have a house in contract that I set up a rent-to-own agreement between buyer and seller as of last night.The two buyers (who I actually grew up with) want to open a small men's 3/4 house (transitional living/structured environment) for guys getting out of rehabs or 1/2 way houses.

As currently structured, the annual interest would exceed $600.

An example would be adding a new bathroom and get the house reappraised.

I worked with Emilio on several projects in Milwaukee -- he did our permit drawings and helped us with structural and architecture issues on a bunch of houses.
