Currently this owner is operating at a loss (they gave a spreadsheet of the financials) and I did some more digging and this seems to be a retiree that may just not have any interest in running this anymore. 

Hello,

My name is Rupert I am a Register Nurse from upstate NY, Hudson Valley region. In my area alone Newburgh NY there’s sooo much potential and opportunity for real estate investing. I’m exhausted from my long 12 ...

This is a form for financial institutions only, in my opinion.

Financial freedom is of course always the goal and I am sure if done right the money will come my focus is wanting to build a legacy for my family !!!!

A realistic summation of the financials, tailored to whatever the circumstances are the house presents.

Also, if you were going to sell one, it would be good to be able to provide financials for the property to a buyer.

Not only did it help us out financially, but it set a great example for our kids who saw us working hard and doing it ourselves.

Its  courageous step and seems like you secure yourself financially before  jump in as full time Investors.  

Hi @Joe Tomko The point of utilizing Facebook is to market to your already existing sphere of influence and then expand from there. 

Your safest option is to insist in the standard 12 month renewal and make sure they fully understand their legal/financial responsibilities if they break the lease.It may be standard for wealthy tenant's in A++ properties to attempt to negotiate their lease but that does not fly in my blue collar world.If they decide to leave you will be farther ahead even with the turn over costs.
