I have locked up one deal off the application and have offered in person on 2-3 other deals.

If Tenant Defaults under this Lease, Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies available under applicable law, including the right to: (i) terminate this Lease; (ii) regain possession of the Property through an eviction or similar process; (iii) recover from Tenant all unpaid Rent, including unpaid Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, Late Fees and, if applicable, holdover Rent for the period prior to Tenant’s delivery of possession of the Property to Landlord; (iv) recover all Rent payable under this Lease for the period from the date of termination for Tenant Default through the stated Expiration Date, less the amount Landlord is able to collect from any replacement tenants for that period; and (v) recover allreasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in repairing any damage to the Property, caused by the improper useby any Occupant or any guests of an Occupant, less any amounts obtained from the Security Deposit.

You still must pay for your own principal certificate, books, crash course, state exam, state application fee, fingerprint fee, and any other fee needed.

Appreciation, depreciation, amortization of the loan, and cash flow (and laundry machine or soda machine or parking money if applicable :) all blended to create my actual return on ownership of the asset. 

It has only been on the market for 20 days.I contacted my mortgage company and completed an application for a forbearance to give me time to sell it and/or find a job and catch up on the payments. 

as a single property owner, do not want to pay full price as there may not much of need of reports, looking for state specific lease and ACH/Zelle/paypal kind of payment options for application fee and Rent collection. any recommendation on which plan would be best?

I've tried to "help" by letting tenants in default get out of eviction and leave voluntarily and got left with trashed properties on multiple occassions.If your criteria says to deny an applicant. stick to the facts.

It may not be here tomorrow, and taxes won't matter then.That said, if you're trying to estimate your future tax benefits, keep in mind these things:- depreciation is only applicable to rentals- depreciation starts when you place the property "in service," not when you buy it- depreciation increases your deductions and consequently your tax losses, but you may or may not be able to benefit from these losses, depending on your overall tax situation- if you do have room for additional depreciation, you may be able to amplify it with cost segregation (a separate topic) 

The only options that seem available to us are add the parents to our application, remove either parents or wife from the duplex, or in the future put the rents all in my wife's name which might negatively affect my in-laws.You guys are my Hail Mary, hoping you can spot a solution I'm missing!

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).
