I will add that this is a process that has many rules that are required to be followed and there are serious financial penalties if you make a mistake. do your research and learn all you can and/or find a custodian who provides education as well as an ERISA attorney who can advise you. 

They provide the bulk of my income. 

They have to provide these docs to you as a future homeowner.

Landlords must provide 30-days notice if the rent increase is less than 10%. 

If possible I use that same section to refute the requirement...or provide an alternate path to approval. 

Those tend to fall apart more easily or lead to a difficult escrow process.

To answer your original question about making it more palatable for owners....you need to pay them for the service of providing you with debt. 

An LLC provides no credence to a given tax position - it is primarily just a means of legal liability protection.

Is your main goal with this property cash flow while providing a home for your mother?

@Carlos PtriawanPlease provide support to your claim that rent is more volatile than values.
