Therefore I would only allow move ins to occur AFTER the lease is notarized.

They occur every Friday at 7:00am at the Smoky Row on Cottage Grove in Des Moines.

That only occurred one other time since that data became accurately available in 2006 (occurred in 2021, also).Ignoring other metrics besides price does turn a blind eye to the fact that the market has changed.

Whatever you do, just make sure you have some type of operating agreement in place so you both know the details of the investment & what to do if there are any issues down the line, or when payouts and all that good stuff occurs.

This would only occur if the husband is engaging in business practices that by their nature are designed for the very purpose of escaping personal liability.

@Alan Craft - Another thought occurred to me.

You should also determine asap if anyone is scheduled or considering moving out (or if already vacant), and require the seller to NOT fill any current vacancy or any that does occur prior to closing.

That didn’t occur to me because I’m inside the perimeter and wanted something closer lol but very good idea I’ll analyze tonight

I doubt it matters what jurisdiction this occurs in -- not doing so exposes the REALTOR to more liability.

A lender cannot legally bind you to a house and life events occur all the time.
