We clearly outline in our house rules that we expect Tenants to notify us of anything that breaks or is not working correctly - via e-mail if it is not urgent, or to call if it is urgent.We also provide our tenants with a contact list (velcro'd to the inside of a kitchen cupboard door) that contains the e-mail, office, and on-call numbers for our trade/service providers {plumber, locksmith, etc.}, so we rarely get those calls directly.

I get e-mails from a company that offers standalone commerical properties.

Carolina E beat me to it about setting up keyword alerts.

Good Evening bigger pockets board, I received an e-mail today from a RE agent stating her brokerage is working with a new HEDGE FUND, that is looking at buying up to 50 homes a month!!

Sounds like a great idea - setting up my keyword alerts right now.Carolina E - Thanks!

If you want to lease purchase and protect yourself, first have them pull their credit report.Or go to a local mortgage licensed broker, and apply for a home loan.See if their D/E, credit, etc. is reasonable for an FHA loan in 12 months.Get 3% option consideration.Make the strike price in the future at new appraisal (12 months from now).

Get copies of the seller's Schedule E from their last two (or more) tax returns to see the seller's actual expenses over that time.It could possibly be a deal if the market rents are really that high.

It looks a bit blurred on my pc but I may be splitting hairs.An idea for the e-mail is that you could set up a catch-all e-mail account.

I did send you an e-mail with pictures of the home under construction that one of the bigger pockets design contest.
