Renting gives you more flexibility to move than buying, some people like having the right of flexibility, even if they don't exercise it.7. 

Here's what I used to do: go to craigslist and start calling 'for rent' ads, chat with the people, ask about the place, why it's for rent, would they consider selling it...etcThis is a small warm up exercise - I need about 5-7 warm up calls to get in my zone.

@Hugh Ayles I am looking now to see where I saw examples of this in sample agreements.

It's good exercise anyway.
