Our first accepted offer was a 320 unit deal that we contracted, put up non-refundable (yeah, I know) earnest money, and thought we had our financing and money in place to do the deal.  2 weeks before closing a major (several million) partner pulled out leaving us short of the funds needed to close. 

Not just a non licensed investor. 

We always give a 60-day non-renewal when they are an annual tenant.

If you are in a state where eviction cost is high and it is tenant friendly you may need a higher credit score to offset default risk and eviction cost.If you are in a landlord friendly state where it is easier to get non paying tenants out you may be able to handle more none payment risk.  

I've been through situations like this.Hopefully the family pays rent and this becomes a non-issue.If they don't pay the rent, you need to be understanding and kind, but firm.  

Quote from @Andrea Wellman: Would like to invest in short term rentals to start and learn from this forum and experts.  

Quote from @Bob Dole: All,Apologies for the newb question, but I just heard about cost segregation and have been reading up about it online.My understanding is this (and please correct me where I'm wrong):Pros: -accelerate depreciation, front load (vs. just a straight line over 39 years) -save money on taxes because of the depreciationCons: -if I sell the property, the recapture will be larger -not recommended if you flip propertiesSo hypothetical situation:-Majority of our income is W2 based, let's say it's $500k-Net income from commercial rental is $100k-Income from dividends and interests is $100k-Both of us are full time W2, so non-prof real estate (but this can change  -- please see below)So we're hypothetically grossing $700k a year. 

Well it looks like non-profits are exempt....So I suppose Dope Traffickers will just buy an ongoing concern non profit and operate that with ownership as an IBC (International Business Corporation) in some privacy haven, or Russia, or Yemin or somewhere (if those places have privacy laws???)

@Shayan SameerThe non-paying tenant could impact your short-term cash flow, so consider the potential costs and timeline of eviction in your state.

The options are going to non QM lenders who allow this.
