Here is 3 scenarios: conservatively projected low/medium/ and scenario 3 is actual recent net returns  (unlikely repeatable right now) I'm looking for alternative ideas to deploy $150-200k down payment on a much larger investment than a 1br house, so I can play the appreciation game as well as the income game.

A lot has been made of purchasing a property “subject to” the existing loan, or alternatively via “owner finance”, or its hybrid a mortgage “wrap”.  

Alternatively, you can switch jobs to one that is less demanding.

Finding a solution that works for both parties is ideal, but if that proves difficult, it may be necessary to consider alternative steps to safeguard your investment.Please note that this is general advice, and consulting with a legal professional who is familiar with the specific laws and regulations in your area is recommended for a more accurate assessment of your situation.Best regards, 

You need to know the rate of return on an alternative investments, Joe.

At the same time, if I dont buy an alternative, then I will never be able to depart with my expensive house that is a bad rental...

I've always had a huge interest in the alternative project structures where the Architect acts as the Owner and Developer.

The goal I would think is to increase your rental income and solar might do that but there are alternative investments in your property that might get you higher returns.

Your boyfriend can be listed as an alternate contact or agent for the landlord, but they should not be listed as the landlord because they have no legal rights to the property.

Absolutely not, but every investor should see the red flags and consider their alternatives before moving forward.
