And did you conduct any or all of this in person -- and did that help, if you did?

@Monica Morff 1: tenants are protected in MN by current lease 2: Cash for keys, give them 1 month to be completely moved out and you will give them prorated or all their rent back.  

Do you need help in specific areas or all areas? 

They rely on security deposit paying for in part or all damages and just think that the borderline DTI and all encompassing information about the tenant suffices what "they" think is a good tenant.

call hud and make sure that make up an agreement about if any thing does happen hes on that fine line about having to leave or all

Unfair as it seems, the crazy party that one roommate threw can result in a termination notice directed to all tenants.In Legal Terms:“Joint and several liability” is where two or more persons are liable in respect of the same liability.Under joint and several liability or all sums, a claimant may pursue an obligation against any one party as if they were jointly liable and it becomes the responsibility of the defendants to sort out their respective proportions of liability and payment.This means that if the claimant pursues one defendant and receives payment, that defendant must then pursue the other obligors for a contribution to their share of the liability.This obligation is normally spelled out in a lease clause, in leases which are signed by two or more tenants.

Over time, you can gift out a portion, or all of the property to her. 

That said, I'm looking for a little advice or to connect with others who have gone through a similar project:Does anyone have experience with any or all of the above strategies?

On the flip side, you could also invest most or all of your money into one larger property (say a 16-unit for $1M w/ financing) and work on that instead. 

Half or all?
