Since I have to sign on with an agency for two years before I get my Brokers License and presumably stay with one after I get it, how can I make this work?

I just returned from the lease signing for my 4th SFH...Im on cloud nine!!!

So depending on where this is, I could recommend give it a good cleaning, fix anything broken and put up a sign.

In addition, there is a garage the same size as the house underground, that can be accessed from either the right or the left of the house down long driveways.Investor posted sign in the yard with renderings for a house that is more than 3000 square feet.

I'd wait until I had a signed contract to do the title search, and then I'd let a title company / title attorney / closing agent do it.

For good tenants who were leaving a few days early, I'd work with them, do the walk-thru on the day they left, leave a sign in the yard saying available on the 1st, and add any rent credit in with the return of their deposit.

Not sure if you've already found your 2nd roommate, but once you get your lease prepared for the new guy, I would suggest you also go ahead and have your friend sign one too.

If someone is not willing to sign this type of contract they have basically declared that they will not be responsible for working in a timely manor.

Aside from family issues, this is a lousy cash flow investment, and nothing but a prayer to be bailed out by appreciation.He could go out to the closest underwater neighborhood and sign up deals this bad ALL DAY LONG.

Could put a carefully selected short-term renter in there for 6 mths to cover overhead, then do your repairs in the winter and list it next spring, targeting a signed contract at the 12-mth mark.Of course, you can try to sell it for cash to a hedge fund after you repair it.
