I would say that's a choice and depends on your strategy - I would not be happy if a property I bought ten years ago is worth the same.

There are probably some uptight agents out there that would hold you to that agreement but if not's not working out it's usually beneficial for both parties to go separate ways at that point anyway. 

You could later assign the beneficial interest to another party (the LLC).

If you ban pets altogether, you have no choice but to file for eviction after a notice to cure, or not enforce that part of your lease. 

We try for everything we touch to be "mutually beneficial".

So you are thinking if they leave the lease agreement early then we will have no choice but to find a renter to replace them, instead of a buyer, as we would have if they stayed until the end of the lease agreement?

besides a potential source of income, if you are buying properties in any capacity ... wholesaling, fix and flip, buy and hold, etc. it could be very beneficial.

Not our first choice in neighborhoods, but the schools are top notch and it's a very safe and comfortable place to live.

I wish I had better choices near me, especially when our tenants are driving us crazy.  

I plan to do one next year (refinanced out of my prior FHA on 4plex) for another 4plex that better suits my needs and neighborhood choice now.
