Sometimes I think about cubicles, performance reviews, efficiency studies, reorganizations, downsizing, rightsizing, outsourcing, customer surveys, politics, employee surveys, budget reductions, 2% pay increases, mission statements, vision statements, presentations, progress reports, staff meeting, commuting, etc.

What is the best practice to keep a clean and efficient system for screening peopl

I use my real estate agent's login because I'm cheap, it's not too expensive though even if you have to pay, or there's a free trial period that may work for you if you just need it for a one-off or limited number of uses.  

Just make sure you ask for option period and put all the proper language in the offer.

Maine has the efficiency Maine program, of course, which can reimburse for some energy upgrades.

Even though your payment will be higher you can do this for a shorter period of time than the 400$ payments but of coarse you may not cash flow any at that point which really sucks .personally  I don’t think this is even a good deal to be wasting time and money on given the risk involved .

Typically I have seen an exit strategy as a sale at the end of a hold period between 5-10 years, but I am interested in holding for very long terms so am trying to figure out how I can buy out the LP's who invest upfront while providing them a fair rate of return on their investment with me. 

That's probably going to happen over that long a period (20 years), but there's another place you can be conservative, maybe use a hard 1.5%, same with rent appreciation.

You refi to a 30 year but pay it off like its a shorter am period. 

Make sure as an investor you understand what the horizon of the investment is and if the hold time is projected or that has been outlined specifically in the subscription documents.In my experience an operator is not going to "lock" themselves into a  time period to sell as it would open up significant risk if the market were to correct in that timeline.
