For example, how I would be inclined to play this would be: Get a HELOC on current home at the highest LTV% possible. 

You can either have them nickel and dime you or set up a win/win opportunity.But, I'd be more inclined to fire your property manager over one big mistake. 

I am inclined to keep it simple and just operate as a partnership... no filing fees and financing is easier with better terms. 

So now you’re going to be less inclined to do the 70 hour work weeks in your executive position. 

I am getting more inclined towards your second suggestion because my father does own a company with good cashflow for over couple decades.

I don't think the fact that she has a month to month tenancy makes her any more inclined to move out. 

Few general questions I am trying to answer:1) I love cash flow which is why I am more inclined to buy, rehab, and hold; but I am reluctant to hold after I move out of state after hearing horror stories on the BP forums.

Rehabbing houses is not something I have done before but my mechanical inclination should allow me to pick it up with some practice and I figured a small single family rental requiring a mostly cosmetic rehab would be perfect to learn with.

Look at Price Hill's the Incline District.

@David Braun its hard to compete with a solid offer or one with non refundable EMD, from the sellers perspective those deals are more likely to close with no issues or delays and even when the offer is less most sellers might be inclined to accept over a higher offer with contingencies.
