She had to pay rent in May because she wasn't sure when her closing would take place.Landlord appears to have rented it out now.

It seems you're under leveraged when you could sell tax free and generate a bigger return with multiple properties.

I have some debt I am paying off quickly (avalanche) and am wondering if I should try to get two loans, one from VA for my house and the other traditional for a rental property spread out over time while I'm paying this debt off, or wait a few years and be much more debt free.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

My post is about taxes, not ethics.Now, to taxes.

If they just needed one more month, they might extend and pay the premium.I mention that, because if you are OK with the resident and just want them to sign a lease, tell them the MtM price will go up effective September 1, and is $400 more per month. 

@Hamada Beeka, since they have said they won't allow you to move in I would ask that they are offering to pay you.

Are you at the lowest price where you can pay the mtgs off?

However, if we pay in cash, they will offer a 7% discount.

Things I’m thinking about is capital gains on sale, avoiding high property tax on duplex b/c the ones that are available are new builds.
