If that's the case in your state, you could just write a simple renewal paragraph on the original lease and get signatures. 

The Secretary shall prescribe regulations with respect to the circumstances under which use of the unit for repairs and annual maintenance will not constitute personal use under this paragraph, except that if the taxpayer is engaged in repair and maintenance on a substantially full time basis for any day, such authority shall not allow the Secretary to treat a dwelling unit as being used for personal use by the taxpayer on such day merely because other individuals who are on the premises on such day are not so engaged."

I tried to do the same thing but could not find developed lots to do it  if you got good bead on some developed lots where you don't have to have hand gun permit to survive, then you got good deal. ignore the next paragraph in that event When renting is your business model, you can pioneer a lot more.

This is my second introduction but I figured I should state my intentions!

The BP Free course would be a good introduction here to learn RE investing https://www.biggerpockets.com/courses/a-beginners-introduction-to-real-estate-investing

It is also a great introduction to the landlord experience. 

I really appreciate being part of this community and I'd like to introduce myself.
My husband and I have done a few rehabs and have had a duplex for 20 years. I had some rentals with my ex before that.
Now doing who...

Account Closed Thank you for the introductions to everyone!

My main objective here is sharing my personal experience with RE in the city of Detroit MI (and my first experience in Real Estate at all), basically to encourage those that are starting and just get surrounded with NOers and also to remember the big investors that the bullish spirit can never die.Everything started January 2017 when reading a book that changed my life “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” (Robert’s Kiyosaki best seller that doesn’t need introduction), not essentially for the content that is pretty repetitive but for the hidden message of building wealth for passive income purposes.
