I have been cautious about raising rents as I try to maintain goodwill with the tenants.

If can't transfer the rental into LLC and there are compliance costs associated with maintaining it you might consider shutting it down.

Supplement this far simpler entity approach by ensuring you have appropriate types and levels of insurance, you operate your business in a manner in which your conduct is not considered an exclusion in your policy, you work with licensed and insured vendors, you execute contracts with indemnification clauses with these same vendors/ require additional insured status &  maintain appropriate licensing and permits.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I'm a GC so I understand her predicament and realize maintaining relationships is critical.

The loan has come to term and they can’t maintain the property and the current interest rates.

Its all legal and now you only have to maintain a place for 5 groups. 1) you can get a heavy cash deposit down for the ownership. 2) they pay quarterly for expenses that funds the overhead. 3) everone has a share of profit when you or they decide to sell for a higher price.

Leverage and invest at 40x $100 000 properties ($20k down + $5k closing cost, 30 yeas fix rate loan) with a return of 10% where you have better asset protection (my keeping lower equity and higher bank position), you are hedge against inflation (agree with me, in 30 years $1 000 000 purchasing power will be less compare than $1 000 000 today) Here is how looks mathematically:1. 10% on $1 000 000 (10x $100 000) = $100 000 / annually - No interest tax deduction- No loan paydown benefit2. 10% on 1 000 000 (40x $100 000) = $400 000 / annually - debt service + full tax benefits+ loan pay down+ hedge against inflation for 30 years+ better asset protection (by maintaining lower equity  position)   + (not guaranteed of course) if appreciation happens, it happens on the all full asset amount, example:If appreciate 10%:In case "1" you will have 10% on $1 000 000 = $1 100 000In case "2" you will have 10% on all 40x properties (40x $100 000 = 4 000 000) = $1 400 000As far as cash flow, as long you buy "right" CAP 8% and higher you will have stronger cash flow on leveraged asset + all additional benefits.

These will eat away at any "cashflow" you may have.2.Tenant Issues: Properties in certain areas may face challenges with tenant behavior, making it tough to maintain the house long-term.
