It also sounds like you may be stuck in analysis paralysis, or you are just looking for that perfect property.

And we may be seeing that (although I'm not as plugged in as I need to be).The DADU sounds great!

It might sound fancy, but it's worth considering.

- explicitly mentions the end of the year next to the word "attained": ...who is a child of the taxpayer (within the meaning of section 152(f)(1)) who has not attained the age of 19 at the close of the taxable year...Sounds like a reliable pattern, right?

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

I see it that your first decision is; to scale (grow), to coast (doesn't sound of interest or else you wouldn't be asking these questions, right), to exit (cash-out) or to transfer. 

@John Cooper, it sounds like a normal tenant and a difficult landlord.

Account Closed Thank you so much for your thoughts - it sounds like you already know this tenant because you’re describing him perfectly.  

I don't know Ohio's laws regarding disclosure, so it sounds like that may not be applicable. 

Hey, sounds like a solid strategy.
