Even making a rock-bottom offer doesn't sit well with me sight unseen.This is in Iowa, but I am wondering if anyone knows the legal rights I would have if an offer were accepted with these tenants already in place?

I’m going to be moving out of state and want to keep my property but I’m unsure on all the changes that need to be done before it’s legally ready to rent out i.e home insurance, declaring to the state, etc.

I've told her I will help her with any legal fees as long as I can have assurance that she will sell the property to me once everything is cleared up. 

For example if I wanted to run an ad looking for potential sellers would I run into any legal trouble without a license?

We had legal agreements both as a TIC, and later, as a condo association (with association dues). 

I’d love to see links to the exact contracts used and legal requirements necessary for me to complete a wholesale deal “legally” in Florida.

(NOTE: The buyer base for this area could be another investor, but more than likely it would be someone looking for a ski/2nd home.)While I can't account for everyone and am currently of the mindset that I will meter all "units" (pending any influential feedback here in the forums), I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on pro's and con's to metering everything into 4 units or just metering each legal side (into 2 units) and splitting the upper and lower utility payments based on some other criteria (e.g. square footage).

My first home was purchased prior to me getting married but my wife gained a legal interest in the property as soon as we tied the knot despite not being on title.

I would also get legal advice with my own attorney for piece of mind.

I called the tenant and we had a conversation and she understands she is legally bound to the lease, she is also aware of the clause in the lease that states should the lease be broken there will be a financial penalty.
