A call to a town building department, or an internet search should answer that for you.2) I have found The Journal of Light Construction to be an excellent source of information.

The buyers of my place can move up the dates as well.

Do your own research based on what nearby competition is pulling in....and on which dates.

We would love it to be someone who also invests in real estate themselves so that we can learn how to best prepare our business for the most opportunities of investing.We are looking for someone who is always up to date with current tax laws, is creative in their approach, and someone who loves to teach. 

The only gauge I can try and use is ask to see that the dogs are up to date on their shots and spayed/neutered.

It's also a good practice to make sure that the current owner is up-to-date with their HOA fees, otherwise that bill will become yours upon purchase.While some people opt not to get inspections on condos/townhomes that are in good shape because of the nature of the HOA taking care of CapEx, getting an inspection is always a good idea so you can learn more about your property and to potentially discover things that may not meet the eye.

This is also super broad as well because I am not going to reveal my complete in depth plan on the internet, however connect with me and id love to explain my thoughts in more depth Nathan.

@Joshua Janus very simple currently I date my real estate agent to get deals, multiple sources?

The rules in place are for closing date. 

You are not required (unless you have a local law that says otherwise) to give a reason, simply state that the lease will terminate on X date and it will not be renewed.
