For me the best-case scenario would be to pay him some cash to assign the deal, and then you take it over 100%.If you have no cash, then it becomes a question of who has the greatest position of strength. 

Tax writeoffs are a big motivator for sure but not my sole reason for being in real estate.It sounds like investing in a condo in a place like Branson may be one of the only viable options for me, basically I'm looking to diversify to have more than just LTR's at this moment.

Stripped to the studs, new electrical, new plumbing, restored original wood floors, and brought a 1946 gem back to its original form!

For me the cost of the 3-day workshop was worth it.

Due to personal faith based reason, I prefer to only invest in all cash deals that don't involve traditional financing (so typical passive RE options like syndications, RE funds with fixed returns, REITs etc are not a viable option for me). 

do I now Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) form so HUD could come inspect the property and starting collecting rent (assuming inspection is passed)?

Plus their customer service is always on point, I can always get ahold of someone quickly and resolve an issue when I needed 24/7, so far I haven't come to one incident where they couldn't resolve an issue for me.

IM CLOSER TO NH COUNTY, FROM A STRATEGIC STANDPOINT ALL ROADS FOR ME LEAD TO NEW CONSTRUCTION 2-4 UNITS.

It doesn't mean it can't work, but one is incentivized and one is not.Whatever the challenge is, it isn't for me.

Let me know if you have any other questions for me and how I can help you best, there are a couple apartment buildings I think I would send your way for LTR.
