If I can't put the lien in my name, can I use my adult child's?

Even as a well seasoned adult, they freak out if I mention million dollar properties, lol.You will do very, very well and I think many of us reading your post are jealous we waited so long to get started.This is a great community so take the time to read though the forums as they hold a wealth of FREE information.

Any adult that will occupy your unit should complete an application and be fully screened.

I'll lay it all out there in the hope that some folks might have some useful insights or advice.I've been an "amateur" investor for most of my adult life, typically only having one or two rentals, with one unit being part of a duplex that I resided in.

If another adult occupant moves in, you'll want to qualify them, screen them, and then put them on the lease, this, is a no-brainer.

She is divorced with 3 adult children living with her.

As for changing the layout, I try to cater to the female taste (they are, after all, the ones who pick the house!).

The wife and adult son both work but have not paid rent this month.

The step rail isn't moving anywhere now.Make sure if you add a grab bar next to the washer dryer it is not in a location where a child or an adult could bang their head against it.Also make sure it hits the stud and you don't use cheap wood or drywall screws where the head will break off from the weight.Yes being heavy is not the fault of the landlord however dealing with the issue upfront is better than a bigger problem later.

You also want to know how many people will be renting and how many are adults that will be responsible for the rent.
