As long as someone is communicating (Honestly though) with me the issues they run into with a loan I gave them, I would not mind them being late on paying me back. 

I remember hearing on a Bp podcast about putting down $100,000.00 as a deposit would sweeten the offer, and that as long a I have my contingencies in place I should be fine.

Any other activity I did not mention above as long as it's related to owning and operating your rental propertyYou don't have to give a detailed breakdown.You can just have a total for all the above - say "I spend on average about 1 hour/month per property"I like to know the answer the question: is owning & operating a single family home as a rental a truly passive investment?

You have a right to enter as long as you give proper notice, and there is no requirement that he be present.this could be a very innocent request from the tenant but it could also be an indication something is wrong.

My tenants can pay in cash, check, bank-to-bank transfer, wampum....just so long as they deposit it into the bank account # I have given them before the grace period expires. 

As long as I could trust them and they are willing to trust me.I'm just wondering what is a fair offer considering I will bear the brunt of the risk.

You can do whatever you want as long as all parties agree.

I am speaking from a personal experience and poor expensive choices on my part.  5A) As with most commercial leases - non attached trade equipment such a refrigerators, mixers, steam tables, unattached tables and chairs, dishes are property of the tenant as long as they are in complIance with the terms of the lease.

As long as nothing breaks we are good to go.

Or is the cash flow good enough to warrant keeping the property for as long as you want?
