In it's most basic sense, it's an application that goes on your phone that allows you to send pictures or 10 sec videos to individuals or to your 'story'.

You can sign it, but just limit its application to the single property you are making an offer and only for the purchase of the property.

The risk is going to be high in collecting rent, keeping your property secure from theft, and finding qualified applicants in the first place.

@Racheal StoykHave the "friend" complete an application an screen them the same as you would any other candidate.Even if the present tenant is capable of carrying all the obligations on her own, once the "friend" is on the lease s/he will be more difficult to get out of the property.Our policy requires all occupants of the age of majority to be on the lease and we do not sign anyone to a lease until we have screened them.

.-250$ application fee, non refundable.

I just backed out of moving forward and filling out a loan application with them on a property I have under contract.

What does everyone use for online signature / fillable tenant applications and lease agreements.

You needed to make application for the loan from them if you wanted to get funding, to make sure you could.

Also you could try the emergency contact person in your application and see if they have a new address or if try to contact them at their workplace (you have that information from the application, right?

2) Looking at section 179 expensing, would creating an business entity such as an LLC now (in Feb 2018), have any implications on major purchases made at the end of 2017 (heavy truck used 75% of the time for rental activity/property maintenance, applicances, etc).
