It spells out the monthly rent, when it’s due, the length of the lease (or term), should contain clauses required by the federal and state governments, and much more.

It certainly felt like this was not an arms length transaction.

These syndication can provide an 8%+ cash-on-cash return - providing investors monthly cash flow - and a 15-20% IRR over the length of the project.

It's my understanding that as the licensed broker, I have to be at arm's length from the financing portion of the transaction, so I'm not clear as to how to go about this part of the transaction.

I was getting the impression your tax savings was all year 1.Also curious about length of time / number of years the property was used as an air bnb.

If it comes down to it, we look at job history and length of employment first and foremost.

You may want to negotiate a lengthly closing with the property you want to buy. 

I think it would be generally fair to adjust the security deposit depending on length of stay (if someone stays longer they are more likely to cause more damage, wear and tear, etc). 

The safest way should be to drive around and ask the neighbors for length of vacancy, drug activity or theft (if they know it).

So, take an estimated future price for that length of time...
