A “pass-down” lease refers to the current tenant essentially signing over their lease to the next tenant, and if your property is in-demand, encouraging this can limit vacancies and create student appeal.Consider demand when determining rent prices.The beauty of real estate investment in a college town is stability in rental prices.

@Luke Fuhrman nothing wrong with a company having multiple distribution channels with differential pricing for the exact same product (which bakes in differential distribution costs, such as super bowl ads, etc), but if you know that fact then you probably shouldn't be calling the most expensive of those distribution channels for the exact same product.Rocket's index is focused on the mortgage broker shop (eg, you wouldn't find me there)-- https://www.rocketmortgage.com...This other index lists specific individual loan originators rather than where their license is hung -- https://findamortgagebroker.co...Whatever looks appealing to you, cross reference google business reviews to make sure it'll be a good fit.

I was looking for recommendations/ references.

If your cat applicant has a good Landlord reference after living with them for a year at the last place, that demonstrates a reduced risk.After you approve someone's pets, you still should reduce your risk by charging extra for them.

Reference HUD SFH 4000.1Lender needs to have experience with the 203k.

(almost all contractor hires will be "Take a Chance" until you've used them and they have proved to be a good fit for you).When you talk to the contractor, ask for (3) references from jobs they have done like yours in the past (1) year.Then call the references and ask about their experience with the person, quality of work, etc.For many trades, going in person to see the referenced work is intelligent.

If you are referring to length of time the LLC is in business, there isn't a minimum time the LLC is open.

@Wendy BlackOh, I think I see what you are posting about... wish you'd provide the reference.. 

Hi @David Geiger, You are referring to the classic two party swap.
