Hi @AlexI suggest you pick a farming area on where you want to invest.REI is super hot in Atlanta especially for MF properties so there are a lot of buyers looking to house hack and competition is stiff w offers over asking in almost most listings.

My recommendation is to sign them up for a two-year lease at the current rent rate which provides stability for both parties but include a stiff penalty if they break the lease early.

The code provides for extremely stiff penalties, so DON'T DO IT!

Period.The gov't can stiff you.

Take her money how she wants to give it to you, it’s better than her losing her job, a new tenant who stiffs you all together, a tenant you have to evict.

In lower assets the tenants will stiff you so allocate money toward it. 

Something to keep in mind is that your competition in Disney is going to be very stiff... another option that would be at a cheaper price point could be somewhere more remote in Florida, near a spring possibly?

An unlicensed, uninsured worker could just as easily stiff you and disappear in the night with your money.However, it depends.

The IRS is no joke and the partnership tax rules have stiff penalties for failure to file.I would also point out that the IRS very much cares about the money “passed back and forth between you and your uncle”.

That $850 will be completely paid for by section 8 but I have the feeling she is going to try to stiff me on the cash she owes me from her portion of last months rent.
