I have been approached by several lease option companies. they have a network of buyers that they place into homes and take a fee from them to do so. they claim the buyers are well qualified but just need some additional time to put on real financing. 

Students are not a protected class, so I want to confirm if we can accept the rental application only from medical students here in New Jersey.Does anyone see any problems with such approach?

I am approaching the end of a 12-unit renovation in Derry, New Hampshire and I am experiencing some major trouble with the steam heat system.

I think you could approach it a couple of ways.Offer to make her lease month-to-month.

I've used a similar approach years back to help out a fellow investor friend of mine. 

I'm also reaching out to a few agents now to see whom best fits my investing approach, if you don't mind me asking which realtor you used (totally cool if not)?

No disrespect to them but in a changing market, I can't help but to notice them overlooking the long term perspective...Of course we all want to win and I approach it that way when dealing with wholesalers but most of my deals have NOT been from wholesalers because of this. 

Be very cautious on how you approach this in the future.

I believe the best option incorporates all three approaches, in the following sequence:Connect with knowledgeable local investors to quickly get a sense for the many sub-marketsBuild a core team of capable professionals (PM, inspectors, contractors) who are goal-aligned with you and also have no conflicts of interest among themselvesDo a single small deal to establish a work process for the team and get a minor win.Make strategic visits, not to inspect rehab work but rather to strengthen your relationships with your core team.Do more and larger deals, adjusting the team as necessary.This is exactly the approach I'm in Lubbock, Texas today and would love to compare notes with you.

Hey there,Are there any minimum qualification like needing a high school diploma or having a GED for becoming a house flipper or having a buy and hold approach?
