handwritten letters work the best, stick to the basics nothing to fancy it tells the seller its an actual person that toke the time to write the letter.

Should I not need it all of it for taxes due to writing off expenses, then I consider what is left to be a bonus after filing taxes.

And proprietary software.

I have been thinking about it and I definitely should have gotten it in writing.

It also looks kind of hacked up after adding in everything extra that I wanted to include.I've decided its time to have someone write me a lease.I thought about purchasing the landlord forms from biggerpockets, but then I read that they come in pdf files, so it sounds like they won't work for me, because I might want to make changes to the lease in the future.All of the other sites with leases that I've found won't actually give you an editable file for the lease, they just tell you to go on their website and fill out a questionnaire, and then they generate you a lease.

I appreciate you taking the time to write such a great response.

Or should I have a lawyer write one up for me?

An agent will want to see your prequal before writing offers.

Today, I have maybe 3 that I work with and they have there ducks in a row - updated POF (not 3 months old), they let me write clean offers, they are all-cash, and they shortened their contingencies and they follow through on the purchase and then re-list with me.

Also, keep in mind, there are great benefits as an investor of income properties, you can write off, depreciation costs, and if, it doesn't rent, you write that off as well.
