We’ve all been burned for things.

There are no legal restrictions, but put yourself in the Realtor's shoes.If you're running all over the place doing multiple showings, burning all sorts of time and gas and the buyer takes a deal from another agent, you would be pretty ticked off. 

Good luck and don't loose sight of the end goal and make sure you don't burn yourself out before  you get there.  

This is where you'll get burned.

Think of the tenant as your employee... you want someone who is solid and reliable, and won't burn down the "shop". 

The general idea is for the tenant to pay as much of the costs as possible without you getting burned if he does not pay.So assuming the tenant has their own meters and nothing is shared with another unit, this is my general logic:The tenant pays for anything that can NOT be attached to the house. 

In the West, most landscapes are primed to burn and are becoming increasingly risky in a warming climate.

They overpay, then complain/blame when they lose money on the deal.Most of them burn out after one or two deals, but then they get replaced by the next wave of newbs.I feel like the only thing that's going to break the cycle is if access to capital begins to dry up, but I see no sign of that coming anytime soon.  

When a tenants start to be problematic it is better to move them out and start out fresh I tried to hard to work with them and was to easy and gave to many chances and got burned with having to do a lot of repairs

They've got so many misleading and onerous add ons that you are going to get burned with lenders like them one way or another. btw: Did anybody else notice that firstkey lending is no longer doing these?
