When he didn't show up today, and I contacted him, he stated simply & with impressively cryptic style that he was 'done with that'.Let me assure you I still have no carpet.All in all I'd say we've made arrangements with 20 different 'entities' some handyman types, some contractors.

The company route may sound difficult but it is actually the most secure if properly drafted.You need to better define what you are doing and what your arrangement is and how funds are to be used before you can devise the method. :)

Even then you may only discuss how it would impact the living arrangements.

I am arranging a loan for a buyer of a 16 unit multi in a good (not great) location in CT.  

Cash for keys is your best option and even better, arrange for that cash for keys during escrow and gain possession atvclosing so you have zero downtime.

With my payment arrangements, it is certainly manageable to make payments, but with our family growing soon, I have my eyes on finding financial freedom!

Not to repeat myself too much lol, but I believe that's the best way to go when you're starting out.If you ever want to pick my brain about anything, don't hesitate to email me and we can arrange a call. 

Another thing that comes to mind is whether there are is an early termination option for the rent a car business.Regarding the salon, if you choose to let her "rent" a chair, I would be sure to include the right to terminate the arrangement at your convenience (so you can rent it to another commercial tenant in the event that you want to exit the salon business in the future). 

To convey title without a financing arrangement can be accomplish by a tenants in common arrangement, but there you'll need specific guidance to stay out of financing on a secured basis. 

Have you drafted any written rental agreement or any other verbal arrangement ?
