Use an estoppel certificate to ensure all parties agree on the lease terms, rent rate, deposit, etc.

I agree about taking out as much as I can get.

Do you agree with George about not telling them it is an investment property?

@susan @Susan Little I agree about staying away from foreclosures as they can hide some nasty surprises from costly unexpected repairs to undisclosed liens.  

What ever the 2 of you agree on is whats fair 

Here's my overall plan:I graduate in 2019 and immediately start working and building creditI live with my parents (they've agreed to let me) until I have a decent income from real estate.I have to go to college but I'm going community and my father has agreed to pay for my student fees so there's no concern thereHere's where it starts getting good...My longtime friend (since kindergarten) is VERY entrepreneurial and is also the son of a contractor and is planning on going into contract work.

Every lease I have ever seen has a clause that prohibits subleasing, and it seems like that is a situation whwere the landlord would be at risk, so how do you get them to agree to that?

@Anita MuhammadTo be honest ( and most landlords would agree) some days it doesn’t feel like it’s worth .. some days you wIll say to yourself “ why did I do thIs ?

@Cody Blackburn i must say quit impressive to have such amount in savings. i totally agree with @Toi Perry on you listening to the biggerpockets podcast to determine what will work best for you. but for my recommendation. i will go the buy and hold route. i am new as well and that is what i am saving up for.

Highly agree with Michael.
