How you worded it will be the difference between one party being able to terminate the lease or both parties needing to be in agreement to terminate the lease.Personally, I would be pushing the tenant that wants to stay to leave.

You can use private lending or other loans to roll it all in.Do you have great contractors lined up?

Southern California is a tough market but when you push forward, you can get what you want.  

I have an LLC, silent partner, one home and am ready to get rolling on more purchases but want to take as many preparation steps as possible when it comes to finances and taking advantages of tax breaks.
