Probably best to steer clear.A syndication would likely trigger UDFI (unrelated debt-financed income) at some point in the hold period, unless they are purchasing the asset without a loan (highly unlikely).

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

One other thing I didn't mention is that our timeline for moving is extremely flexible and we would not make our plans until after we have found a suitable tenant (even if that means staying with a friend or renting something short term locally), so at the moment I am a bit inclined to want to try things ourselves using some of the recommendations from @Nathan Gesner, @Chris Berry and others.I also did a a rough analysis based on the two local PMs I have researched and the potential cost savings would be over $6,000 a year.

Someone that is pushed to that extreme on light bullying is very sick and the sickness was the culprit.  

I am excited to get started and hopefully gain confidence to pull the trigger on an investment property. 

So any help, advice, or guidance will be extremely appreciated. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.

@Schaan Donaldson this would be a prohibited transaction and could cause the entire IRS to become a distribution triggering penalties and taxes.  

You must tread extremely carefully. 

Am I being too extreme or is this normal for a land lord to evict a tenant solely based on excessively late rent3.
