My, and yours as well, knowledge of how things should be done, what they should cost, and how long they should take is very valuable.

To my knowledge, it is better to have a buyer assume the mortgage, I just dont know how the rest of the terms would be.

I want to put in place some incentives for new tenants and want to know if anyone on BiggerPockets has done something similar.Here are a few ideas I have had:First Month Free: Sign a 13-month lease and get your first month freePets: No pet fee for the first 6 months, year, etcRent Discounts: Offer a discounted rent for the first month or two fortenants who sign a pre-lease agreement before a certain date.Waived Fees: Waive application fees, administrative fees, or securitydeposit for tenants who pre-lease.Free Utilities: Offer to cover utilities such as water, electricity,or internet for a certain period for tenants who sign a pre-lease.Upgrade Packages: Provide upgrades or amenities such as free parking,access to a fitness center, or a smart home package for those whopre-lease.Gift Cards or Vouchers: Offer gift cards or vouchers to localbusinesses such as restaurants, cafes, or grocery stores as a signingbonus.Flexible Lease Terms: Offer flexible lease terms, such as shorterlease lengths or the option to renew at the same rate, to incentivizetenants to pre-lease.Refer-a-Friend Program: Encourage current tenants to refer friends orfamily by offering them a reward if their referral signs a pre-leaseagreement.Early Move-In: Allow tenants who pre-lease to move in a few days earlyat no additional cost.Guaranteed Parking: If parking is limited, offer guaranteed parkingspots for tenants who sign a pre-lease agreement.

Hello, I am looking for a Maine based attorney to handle a private mortgage contract. any recommendations? Tyvm. 

But now you also have a free and clear property with equity concentrated. 

Grossly understating the amount of KNOWLEDGE and experience necessary to protect your capital from loss2.

My recommendation is to work with a knowledge independent agent that can pair you with the right company.  

The website is called The Offer Sheet and you can get a limited number of properties for free but to get access to the full list to pay $200 a month with the promise of 9-12 unique properties daily. 

If house hacking is in the plans that can be a great strategy.Please feel free to DM me if I can help in anywayHope that helps!
