I found him to demonstrate great respect for the property and neighborhood.

I think the intros so far already demonstrated the kind of helpful community we have here, so feel free to ask any and all questions.

There is the issue only of intent and how you demonstrate that intent as Account Closed said.  

You must rent it long enough to demonstrate that you had the intent to hold as a rental property, such as 24 months. 

See if your attorney suggests a "release of possession" type of form to go along with the letter, with the intent of having the tenant sign that form to demonstrate that they no longer claim possession. 

If you can demonstrate you are the best way to do that then they will often work with you.If you can track down the owner you can also buy it directly from the owner.

My experience at a state school in the southeast was that nobody got in state tuition, regardless of how good your reasons, if they could demonstrate your original intent was to come to attend school.

You're "speculating" that some neighborhood or city demonstrating a pattern that spans decades, will continue.

As an agent we connect with a lot of "tire kicker" investors, so if you're a clear communicator, decisive, and ready to go and can demonstrate that to us we will bring you deals.

Work through your learning and problem solving TOGETHER, in a methodical manner:what's the problem to be solved (and each should not be compounded with extra conditions).list all possible solutions you can find (without discarding any due to bias, personal business ideas or obvious negative effects).then find and list all pro+con issues related to that solution you can.SAVE your work in a binder for quick access later and to visibly demonstrate just how far you both have come.There's no rocket science in REI, but limited exposure to business concepts, contracts, accounting, marketing can ALL be overcome and your partnership will grow as a result.
