(not sure if theyre actually off yet) This is in Northern Ohio so its plenty cold.She is not on the lease....never has been.

List is $145K for two duplexes and a SFH, which lease for $2125/mo total.

The rents can only be counted once you have a lease agreement executed and in some cases deposits in hand.

The $800/month unit probably has a 50% vacancy rate with very high turnover and the $1,250 /month unit is a med student who's parents are both doctors and cosigned the lease.

2) If we work out the details, and proceed without the help of VRBO, should I make him sign a simple month to month lease?

3) Does the developer also responsible for sale/leasing of the property after construction is over?

There will be no broker involved in the lease negotiation.

I paid cash and am going to refi cash out with a local credit union once it is fixed up and leased out, then buy another house with the $$$.

As subject to, lease/option, wrap or all inclusive trust deed deals.  

I've been renting a house for awhile.. years actually.. and it has every problem you can think of.. mostly rats and bugs because theres holes and cracks in the doors and places in carpet where mice or rats been getting in and out. then guy raised my rent so i could get pest control but only does it like every 10 months. just say i found something better but the real question is this if i give my landlord a 30 day notice (im not on a lease) but the place im trying to move to might not actually be ready for maybe a week or two after the 30 day notice so in that time ill be homeless if i decided to move out after the 30 days..
