This could give you the cash you need for the purchase and also eliminate your personal guarantee for the loans.

Will you potentially be more at peace if you sell and buy an investment property that you have never lived in personally?

@Dave Tasset I haven't personally invested with this company but have heard good things about then. 7e Investments, Chris posts frequently on BP.

My lease has a sublet fee (2 weeks is guest by lease more than 2 weeks in a year is sublet) that is costly enough ($100/night per person which is about what a cheaper hotel is here) that makes sure tenants do not have others move-in without informing us.

Personally, I like to target 30% equity retention in each deal.- Section 8 income isn't guaranteed.

I will caution you that if they pull something like this and you immediately start offering any concessions as is repeatedly addressed above - this type of personality will make note of that and the threats will be ongoing for the duration of their tenancy.

Focus on the person (the seller), not the offer.

“ cash flow returns” almost always compare horribly to a simple bank CD after you deduct for insurance, prop taxes< vacancy, capex, prop management (or your personal time.) etc etc etc. 

We used $100k of private money and the rest was personal cash.

I also use their virtual credit cards which enables me to assign a card to a specific person, like the cleaner for my STR for example, so when she runs a charge, it automatically drops into the right account in terms of categorizing my expenses.
