Thanks again to everyone who is reaching out I feel confident that I will be able to move forward with at least one of the contacts made since my initial denial. 

Wondering about paying through an escrow agent or something similar 

With the right planning and execution, the rewards in the luxury market far outweigh the initial hesitation.5.

@Chris ShonYes, a real estate accountant is worth what you pay them.

Especially paying MN taxes on NV tax free properties.

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.

I have a confession: my only duplex, which I gave owned now for 2 years and recently moved out of from a house hack, has proven to cost me more to maintain/pay taxes/repair/fix etc to the point where my cash flow is close to zero.

Can pay cash but prefer to finance part of it How did you add value to the deal?

If they don't pay rent in full, evict them.

Once the property is sold we will be able to pay off the HELOC and will also have further funds coming in the following year.
