The reason for the situation is a temporary work contract after which I would most likely return to my primary residence in Virginia. (+- 18 -24 months). 

We kept the properties secured (temporary poor curb appeal-ah well) until the families moved in.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act allowsA) Temporary deferral of inclusion in gross income for capital gains reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QO Fund) andB) Permanent exclusion of certain capital gains from the sale or exchange of an investment in the QO Fund.A) Temporary deferral of inclusion in gross income for capital gains reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QO Fund) Important points:● No dollar limits● Have to reinvest the capital gain within the 180 daysHave to include the excluded gain (reinvested gain) at the end of the deferral period which includes earlier of:○ The date on which the investment is sold○ Dec 31. 2026● What gain is included?

Usually in those cases, especially if the property is bigger, nicer, in a better neighborhood, I would offer a temporary long term tenant discount say $50 more now and $25 month increase for next two years

Tax legislation also might only be temporary do to budget reasons which is another issue. 

I'll do this because there are (usually) financial incentives for unethical behavior by property management company employees to create churn (and additional placement fees) by failing to work with tenants having temporary problems and by failing to promptly take care of maintenance issues they cause unnecessary turnover, by nickel-and-diming tenants for late, lost-key fees, etc., and "damages" to increase their own performance incentives, by charging top-dollar for mediocre workmanship and pocketing the difference, and by steering tenants to their own or their most profitable apartments.

Even if this is an insurance company paying the monthly rent for the tenant as a temporary housing solution, you still need to screen the tenant fully.

Hard money is usually used for temporary financing.

I think our country needs  better access to health care including mental health care for everyone and better support for the working poor (transportation, sick childcare, financial assistance during temporary illness, etc)

When you open a new line of credit, your average age of accounts will decrease and that will also have a temporary negative impact on your score
