I could care less what happens to the prior homeowner or if they go after him, as far as I am concerned.  

The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that B's child turns 13 on February 1, 2008, and B pays for the care provided in January 2008 on February 3, 2008... ...the amount B pays will be an employment-related expense under section 21, because B's child is a qualifying individual when the services are performed, even though the child is not a qualifying individual when B pays the expenses.So we CAN, after all, claim expense up to the birthday day!

It sets your expectation on the guest's rating and also tells them you care enough to make sure the stay deserves 5 stars. 

If the numbers do not work, be very careful about trying to MAKE them work by taking a little from here and a little from there. 

If they are not willing to fund, I would crunch the numbers very carefully on your end before pursuing other options.

@Alecia Bolton yes just be careful as allied is only licensed in a few states.

I’ll certainly take this as a lesson to leave no detail overlooked and to approach every aspect of my agreements with care.

I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.  

We are still looking to sell, but we want to make sure the tenant is taken care of first.

What i am seeing from the most experienced So CA RE investors is the opposite.
