Here is the lawn care addendum we have as part of the lease "So based off of this, should I give them notice after I receive the last rent check that they either need to fix the lawn or they'll have to pay for it?

Im currently taking online classes to receive my real estate license.

There is also a typical 10% retainage that is held on each payment and paid in full once the certificate of occupancy is received from the building department. 

I look forward to receiving knowledge and tips from this community.

Most people who list their homes are wanting to receive an offer close to what they have listed it for.

So even though I have an interest in the property and I will be receiving the cash flow; because I don't own it outright it's not considered for collateral?

It wouldn't be hard to look better than the competition though.It seems really solid if I had the ability to receive conventional financing w/ 25% down...  

i just received this "potential lead" minutes ago  ( Providence, Rhode Island), its a 2 building property, one unit is a 3 family and the other one, one family, he tells me that in the 1 family we cannot go in an see because he has a tenant under section 8 and is going thru the eviction with the court. the other 3 unit house is vacant due to renovation he was working on it and seems to stop. told me hes not desperate to sell bu, but i know my fellow Dominicans lol, hes a avoiding a low blow from me on the price.im looking to see if i should wholesale this to a landlord, seller finance (he owns free and clear) or hard money lending so i can fix and hold. wow!

All but 2 of these properties are pocket listings I've received from other investors or my agent/best friend.  

I've worked with providing only Performing Notes for the past six years and those that buy these notes are completely passive, besides watching their monthly deposits happen and receiving their 1099s each year.
