It would be MUCH more instructive if you drove down to the courthouse and pulled some physical case files.

Even if an agent is involved for a property with large DOM, offer them 1/2 month rent as commission or if needed commission upon sale to tenant buyer if they exercise the option.In a hot market, anything over 60-90 days is game.

John sorry for the noob questions but I just realized my out of state LLC doesn't have a physical address so I'm not sure what address would go on the checks when I open the account.  

Expense allocation can vary widely depending on the type of physical structure, number of associations and the legal structure of the association (condominium vs. co-up vs. planned development, etc.)

Never know unless you try and you have already physically started a campaign. 

First and foremost I want a GC who doesn't lie through his teeth to win a job bid or prevent me from firing him for sloppy work and poor leadership of his work crew.I want a person who says he is licensed,bonded,and fully insured to bring me physical proof of said items instead of challenging me,"Don't you trust me pal?".

I also put in the agreement that the price goes up 10% each year they don't exercise the option. 

Tenant can say she is not physically living in the unit but having all of her possessions still in the unit means she still has possession of the unit.

Not that me physically being there will actually prevent anything but still.

I am 59 years old and have been in the learning mode full time for about a year since my physical condition has kept me at home.
