Are there any employers driving jobs creation downtown?

I use the 3x rent for my first barometer, steady employment, good credit, and of course 3 years of rental history.

Investigate what (if any) additional fees that they charge for handling evictions, and find out whether they go to small-claims themselves, or hire an attorney.

*Older systems contained insulation with additives that may oxidize copper wire. 

Moving forward in my  commercial leases I will now include language making the placement of thermostats the landlords decision with additional language prohibiting the relocation. 

What kind of savings do you guys have in addition to the income savings each month? 

Of course unless your buying defaulted notes at the get go then again as Chris mentioned this type of fee should be handled up front.. and if it new origination your making and then they go bad.. in your foreclosures you can charge the borrower these fee's when they cure or add it to you opening bid and when someone buys it at the court house you get repaid..

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

But if employing your family works for you and for them - great, go ahead.

I'd have them sign my own lease on renewal and I'd make sure I had enough information on them so I can go after them if a legal issue arises such as employer and other similar data.
