I've rented one single family home for 3 years and decided to sell it since i was only breaking even each month.

With very high leverage (>95%) and FHA premiums it will be tough to cash flow or break-even.

Don't sell at least until you get the tax break. 2.

But the PM usually collects money for breaking the lease that covers this fee.

Does any body have a wood floor guy they would recommend in the Fayetteville area?

You are lucky to break even with these homes.

I am still trying to stay in the retirement mode and devote my time to the care of my wife but when I am out in the car it is a tough habit to break when I see something that might be a deal and I want to hit the brakes and check it out.

Account Closed I'll believe it when they start breaking ground. 

I'm not really into breaking the law.

As the expert, it probably falls to you to break the news to them.If what they really need is an income stream, you should definitely make them an offer involving seller financing.
