A deal this small wouldn’t make sense as a partnership unless the original intent was to scale and grow together assuming this deal works out.In regard to the financing, if you can’t get it on your own without someone else’s balance sheet and income then it would be very difficult to untangle that partnership since he’d be a personal guarantor right along side you.  

So I wonder if I can sell my home in Idaho, purchase the new one under my personal name, then how many months or years must pass before I can setup an LLC as the owner of my primary residence, or if you think that will be a good idea? 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

When you live in that duplex for 2 years and then sell you'll be able to take 50% of the profit tax free (the allocation for the side you lived in). 

So, just give it your best self-help effort to find them, and then let the GAL do his or her job.As far as an ejectment lawsuit, the real question is, was the property legally abandoned?

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

I am going to finish the rehab and get it rented then resubmit for a rental loan.I have used Cashcall Mortgage twice and have been very happy with them but Elite seems to be more flexible and have more options so was going to see if they are competitive.

Then there’s city regulations—some places heavily restrict short-term rentals, so you’ve got to check the rules.If you find the right spot and automate stuff (guest communication, cleaning, etc.), it can be profitable.

If you are syndicating or partnering with other investors to fund a Sponsor's deal and you are a company doing this (LLC, partnership) then get a PPM attorney and file with the SEC. 506B is easiest but if it is really risky...then 506C is best. 

My CPA was unsure... do you issue 1090-NEC for the difference between 1099-K and 1099-MISC or do you double up the income (i.e. 1099-NEC for gross rents from PM, 1099-K of the net owner distribution on 1099-K, then owner reports double income and puts a line item expense for the 1099-K since 1099-MISC covers gross rents).You need a new accountant lolPM issues 1099-MISC, not NEC for rental income paid to property owners.You would still issue the rental income paid to the owners regardless of the payment method.The Property Owners should add an expense line item on Schedule C stating that income reported twice on Form 1099 to offset any duplicated amount.
