@Kyle Carter You cannot directly use a 1031 exchange to purchase a primary residence, as the IRS mandates that the replacement property must be used for investment or business purposes.

For tax purposes, rental income is generally recognized in the year you receive it, not when it is paid.

If it's zero, put in a zero, line through it, or something.If you don't use a manager, line through the entire clause and then you and the renter should initial the beginning and end of the line as proof it was agreed to.NHG  (D) As used in this Lease, Landlord’s “Authorized Management Agent” means ______________________________, address:___________________________,who is also authorized to act on behalf of Owner for the purpose of Service of Process and accepting Notices  NHGYes, you would check the line next to the form(s) of payment you accept.

Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

Ironically, neither did my mother!

A CPA familiar with real estate partnerships could clarify the implications for everyone involved.A great attorney or CPA can help you iron out the details and ensure the partnership benefits all parties fairly.

New here to the forum and I am currently looking to invest in Ohio for the purpose of providing section 8 housing. 

Ironically some of the best deals come from properties that once failed a perc test and are considered unbuildable for that reason alone.  

Anyone familiar with PMs who collude with house-hunting companys to purposefully make me more inclined to sell?

What's the purpose of trying to get a loan when I have to pay that much out of pocket just to get it?
