Flex our creative muscles and offer to pay his back taxes off in exchange for tenants in common 50% stake with the disclosure of house must be sold in 6 months to 1 year.  

To tell you to look for hard money investors but dont tell you how and why you do those things.If success where certain and my mentor told me it would make me a successful investor to do 500 jumping jacks a day then do a back flip at the end of every 10 i would have very sore muscles!

I never was a car enthusiast but I enjoy looking at muscle cars.

The ones I can think of are: allergies (other tenants might be allergic)noise (my bird is the noisy one in our household)property damage (yes, the little dog who is from California, pees in the house sometimes..ugh)Fear (my big dog is 110 pound black lab) of Dogs/Cats/AnimalsFear of lawsuits if the animal hurts someone elseI'd like to discuss what can be done to alleviate these and any other objections as much as possible.  

Some buyers want to do nothing and are afraid to pick up a paint brush, so this will help alleviate that. 

But in the right circumstance a reverse can alleviate a lot of angst and save a truck load of taxes.

Typically if you focus on creating nicer rentals, you will attract a more financially established tenant and can alleviate some of these concerns.

@Colby Mulry this likely won't help your current situation but it might help alleviate future issues.

I am also torn on the issue, it will hopefully alleviate some of the demand but at the same time I like staying at STR's and would have considered investing in them as well.  

Luckily my tenant had just been discharged from the military, so I was able to alleviate him from his lease and make the new owner happy.
