with a student paying $400 for a room + utilities, am I just ensuring that the applicant earns at least $1200/mo income?  

Hey everybody, I work in the sports industry and with that often comes tips from players.

Additionally, assuming the move out inspection does not occur on the last day of the lease, how do we get the keys back from them and ensure they are out of the house?

On our own, we have to do a lot more legwork to ensure that we're getting a good deal and working with trustworthy people. 3.Tenants who complain about roommate drama to us before trying to talk through their problems with their roommates.

If you have a softener or filtration equipment like an iron filter, it'd likely be best for you to setup a quarterly PM from a local water treatment company to ensure your filters are changed out regularly and salt is added to the brine tank - especially if you have a boiler.PM me for a couple references of companies that work in the area...my family's business is in water treatment for commercial and industrial applications in the Midwest, but we have a couple companies we refer residential folks to.

@Bradford Myatt You can always have the tenant sign a waiver that gives them the no objection to perform the work that they want but a the same time taking full responsibility for work and ensuring that they cannot hold you responsible.

The HML agrees to very temporarily "put up" the remaining 80% ($372K) WITHOUT charging interest (via some official agreement that ensures I can't just walk away with his money), and a day or two before the auction, some kind of transfer occurs such that I can now pool all the funds together and print up a cashier's check to use as my proof of funds at an auction (whether pooled in my account, or his account, or an escrow account, or some other account?)
