His solution is not to freeze up and wait for the market to crash.

I can't personally vouch for this escrow account that RentPrep has touted but it may be a good solution - or at least be worth looking into - since it appears you can do the set-up online and there are no fees:  https://www.rentprep.com/landlord-tips/escrow-account-security-deposit/

The solution is simple and inexpensive. 

Our focus is/was a 2-3 multi family home that we plan to house hack for 1 year. ..We placed multiple offers either at ask price or above ask price and even removed some contingency’s to make our offer more attractive...Problem: We often have to compete with multiple offers that have 20 percent down, and the seller believes that we cannot close which is far from the truth. ..Are there any solutions or tips for this issue?..

We got 46 single family homes and we find the cheapest solution is to have 46 individual policies versus one master policy.

The internet is providing more solutions to all of us everyday.

Solution?

I was just hoping someone would have a solution.

Wondering if anyone has been as negatively impacted by the new tax laws as I have and looking for a solution. 

We're also open to conversations with other real estate software solutions around collaboration opportunities.
