Partnership agreements carry significant weight unless they violate some sort of public policy or seek to waive a duty case law demands is non waivable.

Daniel that is a good point that I haven't really been giving enough weight to in my factoring.

@Marc Izquierdo Think from an investor perspective, what weight will this 3+ position will bear?!

Sears scratch and dent seem to be the most competitive, and to your points will not carry much weight in terms of warranty / service given the struggling brick and mortar model. 

Single family price per square foot probably would not carry much weight when you consider a 4 plex we are talking 4x all of the appliances, sinks, plumbing hook ups.

Sometimes legislative bodies will write an initial draft of a bill with super harsh restrictions and then lessen the restrictions in response to public backlash and in an effort to pass a bill.

If you were to sell I'd only sell if you can qualify the sale for tax exemption or lessen the tax burden.

@Karla Slyngstad, in your example you would be taking what is commonly called mortgage boot (lessening your debt) to the tune of approximately $345K. 

Since this is your first eviction, paying an attorney to handle it may be worth its weight in gold.  1.

Personally, I would put more weight on his criminal background check and past landlord references than employment history and credit reports.
