I usually ask for a deposit equal to one month of rent.

I got a vote from Bill Gulley today... :)

Smith’s credit card and he really was 90+ DPD 3-times in the last 24 months” the trade is re-instated on the consumer’s file and when the credit score is requested this re-instated trade has the pronounced effect of returning the score to what it was (all other things being equal) before it was removed, the crash.The only thing that will improve one’s credit for the long haul is time and repaying one’s debts as agreed.

@Joseph Konrad - that equals what Prosper and the Lending Club offer.

equals $270,750.

We're more or less at roughly equal percentages, but he's bringing his experience and managing the project overall instead of cash or credit.

Ask for a price reduction equal to the cash out of pocket it will cost you.

That way you won't be shocked when your cash flow isn't equal to gross rent - PITI.

Every deal is a snow flake, which makes RE investing fun and equally frustrating at times.What's the attitude of the motivated seller?

When my current tenants executed a lease, nearly 5 years ago, there was an addendum/amendment added by the agents that essentially said that "in the event lessees purchase the property during the term of the lease, or during any extension of the lease or with 90 days of termination of the lease, the sellers/lessors agree to pay a commission equal to 6% of the sales price" to be split by the two agents.Of course, my tenants have now expressed interest in purchasing and my question to the BP community is - after 5 years, am I still obligated by this amendment that I signed?
