@Ron Singh  Yes, you can allow lease break and you can sell with the tenant in place just disclose in listing and provide lease, since it is so long a lease might not be a selling point. 

@Michael TaylorLike others have said, as long as the properties have high enough values, you'll be able to qualify w/ a non-bank lender that looks @ each property's DSCR (Gross Rent / PITI).

As long as the seller hasn’t received the money. 

@Ben Bartels I am a fan of lock in low rates as long as you can and keep the payments lower and cash flow higher both personal and investments.

I received from a local title company here in DC that the city would do the change of deed as long as a paid a percentage of what the original purchase price was = a large sum of money.

As long as you have one cylinder more than units, when someone moves you put the spare in, and the unit that was vacated becomes the spare. 

That's a standard approach for many county roads, and is well-known for lower cost and durability.As long as you are trying to improve the roads, don't forget to install paved "parking pads" -- typically 20' x 20' squares to park two cars on each lot.

As long as they live up to their obligations under the lease, they are a "good tenant" in my book.

FHA actually has some great financing options for loans for 4 or fewer units where one will be owner occupied.From the 1031 perspective as long as the % of the property that will be used for investment is at least as much as the net sale of your old property  and you use all of the proceeds from the sale in the purchase you'll defer all taxExample:  If you sold a $200K rental and wanted to buy a Duplex for $400K and live in one unit. 

It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.
