As long as you are willing to play the long game you don't really have a reason to be overly nice or flexible with this tenant.

We also see the long term potential of rental properties and what they could mean for both of our growing families.That said, I am doing a lot of research right now into the best ways to structure the legal entities so as to get us involved and for tax efficiency purposes. 

It's more work in terms of finding tenants.

BLUF: seems like my process takes too long, seems unorganized and hard to track  I lose a lot of the people in the flood of DMs on FB.What’s your process to bring in new tenant?

You can upgrade location, year built, and cash flow through a 1031 exchange.

However, you have no idea how long you'll have to wait.Do you accept Sec8 vouchers?

Over the long term I believe this will continue.

The listing agreement must include the following:* The agreement's valid date (must be signed within the past 30 days)* Brokerage and agent representing the owner* Signature from both parties entering the agreement* Full property address (including the unit number, if applicable)* Terms stating that you have exclusive permission from the owner to rent/lease the property"The problem is I am not a realtor or broker.
