Or, check obits in local paper(s) for a period of time.

How could they tell me that all other still apply when my original contract they are trying to void out with a lease or should I say a piece of paper with no foundation.

Personally I feel its a waste of money to advertise in the local paper(and it isn't cheap) but curious to hear what you guys think.

- No electrical conduit or splits, just the main panel- Turned up sprinkler heads- No HVAC - No partitions walls (potentially drywall at the demised perimeter wall and the firewall)- No store fronts glazing (unless township requires it)- No slab (stone only and vapor barrier)- No plumbing (stubbed within 5')- No toilet rooms= $65.00 - $70.00 / SQFTAre you doing the retail leases as Vanilla Shells (VS)?

It's inexpensive (from free to $0.50/transaction) which is FAR less than the cost of processing a paper check, money order, or cash.  

I do have a clause that says tenants pay for first $150 of wear-&-tear repairs or service calls -- and specifically tell them at signing that a clogged toilet is not my problem.

I think the seller likes that about us because their dad did the same this with his mother.I have a the paper work collected to get pre approved for a loan and will start meeting with lenders ASAP. i have a good relationship with the lender that got me my first property.Lets deep dive this my situation and property,I ran some numbers roughly but with this situation there wasn't a standard way to calculate all the moving pieces perfectly that I could come up with but Im confident they numbers are close.

Personally would lean towards keeping the 1/2 bath, as on paper it looks better.

Basically, you want all of the paper history on the property.  

And because she knows the neighborhood, has saved us from at least one potential tenant who was great on paper, but not in real life.
