We've both lived here for quite some time - I'm an architect working on ADU's / garage and basement conversions and he is a city planner for small towns in Eastern Oregon.

It's a totally different conversation when a Wholeseller is looking to sell a contract, vs when he/she is looking to partner in as well.

The good:His credit report shows zero missed paymentsHis girlfriend's father is our handyman and one of his previous landlordsHe has been at his job since 2006The bad:He already asked to use some of the storage space to store gear for his hobbiesHe just took out a loan for 105k for a boat (also 10k owed on car, makes 50k/yr)He asked to store the boat on the propertySo far I have said ok to storing the gear, but need to establish some ground rules (looking for advice here too). 

I on the other hand do not think it is fair for someone who has been foreclosed on to simply find a loophole and say they never had a face to face conversation with the bank to rectify their mortgage.

@Jenny Bayon it would be helpful to have a conversation with the tenants explaining that their rent has not been increased in X years.

@Michael Gessner I’ve used The RTA store in the past but I’ve found that millwork city has better prices  

I’ve got one rental of my own where this stuff has been down for over 5 years and is showing no signs quality issues.I also buy some vinyl flooring planks from a local lumberyard/hardware store here in WNY with about 5 locations.

Market researchers generally ID themselves and I have never gotten as far as a showing-just a phone conversation-no problem.

Conversely, the high cash flow markets are that way because the perceived risk is high and/or the anticipated appreciation is low.  

That's like buying a store with empty shelves and having a grand opening!
