Totally depends on who typically manages transactions in your state.

Is there a typical amount that may be offered extra to help them out after I come to my price?

I use these on vacation rentals and a few long-term rentals and they've not failed me in 15 years.

Hi April,I am a long term investor particularly in Lehigh Acres area and I am renting ONLY single family homes.

I am trying to do some long hand repair estimates, and I was wondering what is a conservative $ estimate for your typical kitchen to have granite counter tops put in?

You already mentioned you want more passive long-term investments, and possibly in a more landlord friendly state.

You don't know what types of savings she may have to cover her leave or if she'll get short term disability which pays a percentage of her income during her leave.If she is currently working and meets your income and other qualifications for renting, then you must approve her application.

agree over the long term real estate should outperform stocks.

The other factor with this: I think many (not all) of the buyers today that are going in with negative leverage (artificially buying down a short term rate cap does not create positive leverage) are going to be in trouble.  

Or are there other ways that folks typically evaluate this?
