If not at home, then I would contact each of their current landlords and ask "have they caused any noise disturbances in the past?"

what is everyones outlook on real 3/4 hardwood. i am in the same situation on a rental property we are rehabbing now in summerville. i find it hard to believe that tenants could do any real damage to 3/4 hardwood flooring. i mean yes scrape the surface but nothing a quick sanding and re-polying couldn't fix right?

Multiple hard inquiries in a short time frame can significantly damage a credit score.

I don't need to prove anything 'cause I'm not trying to sell anything.

1 -  Repair Windows (don't want open windows to allow damage to anything new in the house)2 - Kitchen (this install will damage and scuff floors and walls)3 - Paint (Paint around other installs)4 - Floors (everything else scuffs or drops on floors...so do the floors last)

I bought my first house at nineteen for 12,000. had to completely redo whole house because of fire damage.

How about we agree to end the lease at the end of the month and if you're out by then and haven't left any damage we'll give you back your security deposit and just terminate the lease at that point". 

For the past few years I have put real estate on the back burner cause I thought it was a extra income to my first job.

Cheers, Steve First Q: Big bank and national call center lenders usually have an IQ somewhere between a beat and a cabbage (though there is some BP talent on the national call center front causing me to question that), so no they probably aren't going to be able to understand that. 

You offer to guarantee a low NOI or net operating income amount for 2 to 5 years, and then have an option to buy based on the value of that low NOI value I don't think Masterleased options are good for new people unless they have very good experience with property management on commercial properties Taking a CCIM course I think is really helpful for apartment managementIf you want to look at Sammy's lease options for residential property, 1 to 4 units, you need to learn about Dodd Frank and the safe act and TILA and RESPA Some fallacies are you cannot legally go against landlord tenant law in your state, so you can't make the tenant pay for any repairs,  you've got to be very cautious about any kind a rent credit creating a financing agreement that envokes Dodd Frank and CFPB  Learn about using a RMLO and how that protects you in any kind of lease with option or lease purchase  Also be aware that the seller can have something happened to them, they can be sued, they can die, so I would highly recommend you have a sale and purchase agreement  And open an ongoing escrow accountTo make sandwich lease options work you must have some capital to put in reserves in case things go wrong, like evictions and damage.
