I want to present Investor A with a hefty down payment to cover improvements of his other assets, while also offering owner finance terms so that in the 3-5 year period he can “sell” the properties to me which I have been paying off throughout the time, so that investor A can successfully 1031 into another investment at that time. 

Quote from @Amir Rahmani: Either laminate or vinyl flooring would be a good choice. since it's cheaper I’m not a fan of carpet at all, especially for rental properties.Thank you for your comments, Amir! 

Vu's comment about a preflight checklist is spot on.

Hope something I said helps you.Maybe someone can comment: I felt like we had a good rapport going prior.

Yes, if anything its easier since no residential restrictions. savvy participants.Harder because you have to know how to present a property, typically have to spend on chase costs prior to assigning.

What I cannot endorse is the misleading presentations by some cost segregation companies to sell their services. 

Makes total sense to me. before this whole situation I had presented them with a written lease that clearly outlines the rules for visitors. i.e no more than 5 days in a row no more than 20 days per year...

Presently, we (the Attorney) just sent out the Notice of Default and the Borrower has 10 days to cure.

Reading those little books that guests and sign and comment in can be very helpful and grounding when you have those times when it seems like guests don't care.

If anyone has good recommendations on how to start learning how to analyze deals to see if they would be worth it please leave a comment down below.
