The good news is that if since it is being used for investment use, you could also qualify for a 1031 exchange and take advantage of the 121 exclusion.

It's directly manipulated by the Federal Reserve via quantitative easing, yield curve control, and short term manipulation of Fed Funds rate.Over the next 40 years, there will be a Minske Moment when people realize that (without reserve currency status, and the ability to counterfeit our own currency ad infinitum) the U.S Treasury is an objectively insolvent entity.

If this is the case, once their attorney reviews the lease and explains that they are indeed responsible for repairs, you could help out, if they don't have the money, and offer to pay for the repairs in exchange for a lease extension, or some type of repayment plan over time, etc.  

Otherwise many many many agents spend a lot of time and effort finding property and writing contracts only to find that the funds can't be transferred, or they don't have immediate access to the funds, or they need some kind of approval from 3-4-5th parties, or there are exchange restrictions, or 9000 other excuses.You probably need to find them a commercial broker who can handle whatever kind of investment they want to make. 

@Jacob Sherman We have a partner that is going to sign on off the loan docs in exchange for a piece of the fees or a piece of the GP ups, still negotiating.

Quote from @Dave Currence: @Jeremy TaggartYou seem knowledgeable about Pittsburgh…I have a buddy who has a couple hundred doors there (single family and small multis) he deployed all his cap a while ago and has done well there.

.: Quote from @Xin-Ran Jiang: But when they bring up the syndication approach of LP+GP, that they will help me raising 35% down payment from private money in exchange of 65% share of ownership, I shocked.

@Dani Beit-Or It's my understanding you can't 1031 exchange a primary residence. 

@Francine Geike If the investment property doesn't seem to bring in enough cash flow to comfortablyprovide a return, a 1031 exchange might be a good option for you.

Exchange ideas here and there.
