If anyone knows of a group that's familiar/comfortable with purchase agreement assignments and ABC closings please send their info my way.Much appreciated!

Greg Downey Careful on thise fine lines, each and every bank that offers those cards has their own little line that's easy to cross, but they're good cards, and usually they're balance transfer cards, which doesn't offer much in the long run, most only have 1% flat back while others have 1% on everything 3% on this 5% on that, or some 2% flat no limit, etc.Dan Schwartz You could still have asked and they'll give it to you, most managers don't have time to argue outside of their dumptruck paperwork deadlines.

The process would be as follows:Make offer as YOUR NAME "trustee of ABC Investment Trust"- exact vesting TBD at Closing.

I would also recommend The ABCs of property management by Ken McElroy.I know that's a ton to read but they all cover quite a bit about real estate investing in the whole and you'll get a much bigger picture of what's out there.

I would argue there is similar if not more "wear and tear" as people can be tough on items like AC (especially in FL) and furnishings as they are not their own, but there is an upside.
