I imagine you are still feeling the effects of Helene.

Hey Tom, no matter what I would have a real estate lawyer look over this before you purchase the property.

I have meetings with my lawyer to discuss partnership contract and acct for the financial piece.Since this is extremely new, I am building a team of a contractor, broker, loan officer, accountant, Lawyer and investors. 

Assuming you have already provided the late notice, which is something you should do, I recommend finding a lawyer that focuses on evictions at your jurisdiction and just hire them to do the eviction. 

Quote from @Scott Tennell: What creative financing strategies have you found to be the most effective in today's real estate market, especially in terms of working with sellers or investors in challenging conditions?

Not to mention there is others out there with GIANT budgets, massive systems, proprietary software to effect big efficiencies, and they can't operate at that insanely low level, there is a reason for that. 

The way I read that clause, if you and the landlord cannot agree on what rooms to paint and the painting is not complete within 3 months then that clause does not take effect.

And this seems to be effective. 

A local lawyer approved lease worked for the tenants I chose; I took in rents on Apartments.com.  

It may effect lease renewals.
