I offered to temporarily lower their rent until they’re back on their feet.

A scenario where you intented to hold but something came up like an unsolicited offer, higher expenses forcing a sale, change in demographics etc.   

It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.

.- Have attorney draw up a contract to do this.Suggest you offer your dad some cash, now or in the near future, to motivate him to transfer his ownership to you.It may not work out, but you will learn a lot either way!

(seems straight forward)B) Landlord denies the request for ESA exemption of pet fee / pet rent, but offers the applicant the unit if they ARE willing to pay fee / rent for the animal as a pet.Or... 

If you own 25%+ of the business paying your w2, youre still self-employed.There are bank statement/1099 loan program as well, which is what you have been offered.

A “30 minute phone consultation” is heavily advertised with their package offerings, but it was a struggle to get them to agree to a phone call once we were engaged.

And good luck to @Eve Favorse on the offer!!

I'm about to put an offer on a MF in Rensselaer and will definitely be needing a handyworker & painter for some light cosmetic work.

However, if you can identify a reinvestment opportunity that offers significantly better returns or aligns with your goals, selling through a 1031 exchange could make sense.
