These properties were financed after the safe act went into affect.This attorney you used sounds grossly negligent from what YOU have said in many mistakes.The attorneys I know will send you a document and you read it and they REDLINE any changes and you discuss and go back and forth until you are satisfied.The fact that you didn't read at signing and TRUSTED as you say this lawyer has no bearing on the fact that you should have read it.A judge will see it the same way.What I am seeing is a mess created by two parties being you and your attorney.You have to figure out how to get things back on track.You need to know in each state where you own these properties if you can foreclose and how long that would take and what it would cost and what you could sell for to get any money back and move on.This attorney as you say sounds nice but general practice attorneys I find make numerous mistakes when handling specific areas of law.

For all the newbies, you can not make terms of a lease to any whim or what you think may be a really cool deal for you, there are acceptable terms and conditions in every are of the country, you can't just go wild thinking if you get someone to agree to something that it will be acceptable.

Hello Stanley: This is why I ask questions, what sometimes seems obvious it does not necessarily compatible with a business model (to name it somehow).I have not yet declined (well, I did informed my PM via email which I can cancel before they let the applicants know), so I still have time to study the reasons why will you consider it.Do you mind explaining what do you see in these applicants (under your suggested conditions) an option to consider?

Any dollar figure is too misleading and no average will really help because each case is so different based on size, condition, neighborhood, etc.

Both are more than adequate in condition and function, yet the inspector failed both houses by the tune of 3 full pages of items.

My new tenant comes from a family of lawyers.

Do they need to call a lawyer ?

Is the unit in rentable condition at the moment.Based on the answers above - you should be able to factor in the mileage to and from the property; it will either be expensed or capitalized to the cost of the property.
