I know I could have a family member co-sign a mortgage with me but not sure the best way to approach that conversation and what incentives I’d be able to offer to make it worth while for them other then their “familial duties” haha. 

If you're signed with AvantStay on the master lease and the numbers work out for you, I'd say ride it out for as long as possible.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

A seller can not sign away his rights in a purchase or any other document.

Best advice: don't get emotional about a deal.Found first deal on MLS, but have found stuff on FB, Nextdoor app, and even yard signs! 

I recently signed up for BP and found the calculators on this site to be very helpful.  

Here were the warning signs as I remember them1.

If she accepts the offer, make her sign and you both get a copy."

I just signed on with one of my rental properties.

Can I sign up more than once?
