Not advertised, the lead was from walking a talking.My student located two more, by walking and talking, off market opportunities, one a failed rehab, another a move-in ready with clean up, the rehab on a sub-to maybe, the other we'll see tonight when I hit the guy up with seller financing, maybe a combination of hard money and SF, we will see.The other property is one I knew of that was going to the market, has been sitting, a tri-plex that can probably be another combination of hard money and seller financing.It will take 30 days without jumping through our tails to close one.When we began, at the end of November/ first of December I think, I told him that he could probably be a landlord by May, that was considering his investor's backing.

Guess what... it's only digits transferred from one account to another..  

They advertise their rate also.

I am from Lancaster, just down the road.I love that you are making a push to do belly to belly networking, in this digital age it SADLY becoming a dying art... that just means its ALL THE MORE powerful to those of us that are good at it.

I know here in CO, you have to have your Employing Brokage name and your name on all advertising.

While charging for cleaning from the security deposit might be a good idea (will have this in my new lease) this is not an option for the current tenants as I inherited them and the damage they caused (dry wall, broken bedroom doors) has wiped off all the security deposit they had.Stanley Steamer has high prices to cover all of their advertising.

Some people use software like Adobe Acrobat were you create a digital signature.

Advertise incorrectly and the Federal government may come a calling.

I have done more research on the area and there are other studios in the area for rent (not on this street, but there is a cluster of multifamily buildings a few blocks away who advertise studios for rent - most are about $500/month advertised).These are my estimates (the owner gave me a "rosier" picture).  

Dreams of savings down the road go away when they factor in the additional mortgage cost created by that extra upfront cost.When I was still building in Northern Idaho and put in energy efficient devices advertising them was a negative and several asked if I would take out the non traditional high efficiency tankless hot water heating system.I build to green certification standards but I am  not willing to pay the inspector for certifying them green especially since he had to approve the plans for the homes to be built.I wish you much luck and support your intent but the reality, at least in my experience, is people are willing to talk about being green but won't pay extra or go out of there way to be green if there is even the slightest hindrance to their life style.
