In the case of students, some of the things we offer: arrangements a discount (13%) with a self-storage provider while they are waiting to move into one of our properties or, when they are moving out;discount on end-of-lease cleaning services (using our cleaning service ... the same folks we would have come clean the property after they move out w/o cleaning thoroughly) or on having the cleaning service come regularly;A complimentary introductory session with a local pilates studio;an organic pizza from a local CSA business during exam period;One of the best received "perks" is our "Take Me Home" card  which enables tenants to have a taxi bring them home -  whether they are at the library studying late or out on the town with all their money spent.  

I currently rent to a supportive housing agency in NYC, and I am also interested in increasing the inventory of supportive housing.I recently connected with the Supportive Housing Network of NY - http://shnny.org/This organization is a great source for information and contacts about supportive housing funding and development in NY.

But, as soon as I can, I'll respond to this discussion with the financials.In the meantime, I’ve finally gotten around to organizing the 100s of photos I have.

Option periods are not counted by the lender because they are not set in stone and a renewal might not happen.

Two birds, one stone!

As for Victoria I think the next meet up is may 17th  its at the best western by home depot a lot of great people and the organizer always has great presenters.

The lottery period is not open for investors either as it is the period for select properties only open to Government organizations and non profits

Some are organized by the Rein and some by the REIA however there are some organized by individuals.

@David Stone I am not 100% sure how it works in your area but In Illinois we use a standard contract, known as the 6.1 Sales contract.  

As a business owner, the heart of your organization beats in the structure that houses it.
