For on time payments, ideally you take care of this with screening (and they don't need much encouragement to fulfill the terms of the lease) but I use more of a stick (late fee etc) than carrot approach there...Best of luck.

Technique #4 (appears ill advised) A fourth technique advised by others is to simply deposit the investor loan proceeds into an interest bearing account for 30+ days, with the notion that doing so completely fulfills the "investment purpose" requirement, after which they can withdraw the funds and use it for the down payment (while still taking the interest deduction each year).

I think you're a trustworthy person who would always abide the contract, fulfill the obligation on the contract and uphold the sanctity of contracts under any circumstances (including the shutdown of the 3rd party insurance company because this is your responsibility and not mine).

Not everything will be sunshine and rainbows during their journey but overcoming challenges, whatever those challenges are, is what brings true success and fulfillment.

When completing a 1031 to fulfill the like-kind requirement you must be going from real property to other real property so that would qualify.

Aside from the fact that once you fulfill that mortgage, you end up paying for that house 3 times.

Regardless of whether the eviction was successful or not the PM would have fulfilled their obligations to protect all tenants.
