How much do is enough for the down payment cause I know it might not be 3.5% down. 

The bank is willing to sell the note to the owner of the house for a cash deal not through financing cause that would be illegal.I understand that part.

Both of my house hacks were enjoyable and lowered my cost of living, helping me survive tough financial times.One of those tough times was caused by a live-in flip that went way over budget.

Both tenants are responsible for the damage caused.

(I understand upon learning the per is an ESA or Service Animal, one cannot charge pet rent....but these are still animals and can cause damage to the property.

Prices go down, causing financial pain for the gentry.

We were under contract for another place and walked away because of a 2" drop in the house in one corner caused by the foundation not going below grade and the owners not willing to do anything.

You can bill back to the tenant if they caused them, but they have placed the responsibility on the LL because they're trying to curb the spread and know the property owner is more likely to manage that than a tenant especially in a MFR situation.

Conversely, when property prices are low, rental demand decreases, causing rental rates to remain relatively flat or fall.How can you identify cities that are likely to have significant and sustained appreciation and rent growth?

Thanks, and that is what I’m so concerned about, is issuing 1099’s (either myself or CPA) in error and really causing a mess for the person receiving them.
