How would the tax computation work out on a 30 year note?

@Jacob RossTwo answers for you- more times than not - equal partnerships don’t work out nearly as well as going it alone.  

I have had a couple of opportunities to market similar properties time on the market, desirability etc and having a sharp property with decent ceiling fans helps.I think it depends some on the property and the target audience as I have investors with lower priced multi-units with no fans on purpose that work out very well. 

Going the DSCR route will also not work since he will be subject to a PPP at the time of refinancing into a primary loan.Putting a tenant there for a year and then anticipating to move in after a year may not also work out depending on the states Laws regarding this. 

Im a Realtor too so I just pulled in the driveway and talked directly to the owner and it took a few months but I was able to keep in contact and work out a deal.I learned A LOT about the importance of vetting any professional/contractor (and verifying any proof they provide) before they start any work.

At the same time, try to work out a cash for keys deal.

Cah out can be used as an asset and for PITI reserves and a Heloc can "Never" be used as an asset or PITI reserves.I generally work out the options for my clients to compare a cashout to a Heloc so you can see payment to payment, overall costs and rate.

If you dated for months, really had an intention to tie the knot and even gave her an engagement ring, but it did not work out in the end... 

Your capital is available to do it, but that doesn't mean it will work out well.

They have a place they could potentially close on by the end of the year, but its new construction and the closing is subject to change based on the builder (and the area was just in the path of Beryl, so that timeline could have been impacted), so if that's the only thing they're thinking of exchanging into, I'm inclined to suggest they consider consuming the losses now for simplicity's sake, especially if the exchange timeline can't be guaranteed to work out.
