Seller gets mad says will not sell house to us any longer and will be keeping the $10,000 in EM.25 day marker: Go back to the table because now we are still wanting to do the deal, well, I don't want to, but the other two partners want to save it.

Tenants save money when using a shared meter, so there's plenty of room for error when calculating how to distribute the charges.

If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out and ask I enjoy helping and offering tips and loopholes to help save time and money.

As others have said, the best thing your son can do is run far from this deal, buckle down, save his pennies (he probably already is doing this), house-hack, and improve a property with sweat, hard work, developing a DIY skillset, and self-managing tenants. 

It sounds like you’ve got a solid foundation with your rental property, and I love the ambition behind your plans to build a property management and maintenance company—it’s a great way to take control of your investments while creating additional opportunities.Best of luck to you! 

I plan to consult a tax professional but before wasting anyone's time I would like to ask whether I can technically claim the property as a rental in 2024 even though our first contract started Jan. 1, 2025?

Do they come with subscription plans for maintenance ?

Wrapping 3 properties into one blanket loan shouldn't be a problem, save these are sitting on any sizeable acreage.You might get lucky and find a unicorn local bank or credit union that would consider that kind of leverage, but I would say overall, those terms are very unrealistic.Cheers!

There's supposedly a large medical center being planned, which will also need convenient housing.

Like any financing strategy, due diligence and proper financial planning are key to making it a successful solution for both parties.
