I want to buy the property on terms and demo, build a new house.I want to structure an owner finance deal with him where I either pay him interest only on the lot or no payments for 18 months (or until the new house completes and sells whichever is earlier). 

Something like damage to flooring might have been noted then.As for useful life (this is term used in California law), your PM is correct in taking the useful life of component into consideration.

What terms do you have on your current rental property? 

All houses are rented to long term tenants.

Team,Im having a tough time finding an insurance provider for my medium term rental in Pittsburgh and I'm looking for suggestions.I own the building (triplex) where 2/3 units are traditional long term rentals, and 1x unit is a medium term rental.

If ownership is a single member (me), then one of two things happens. 1) we go with the lease agreement option and then Partnership B is receiving passive income that is much lower than what is expected; or 2) we go with a management fee option and then all the profit flows to Partnership B, but the expenses unequally benefit me as the single owner. 

I purchased my first property in Tampa in 2019, and it has been a long-term rental over the past year.I am currently looking for my next property, which I want to be a BRRRR/house hack.

You picked the wrong kind of property to start in as a 3/3.1 townhouse is not ideal for room hacking and is more residential in nature which is why you should sell it and take the proceeds and deposit money and look for a two-family where you and your brother can live in one side and you can full rent the other side - maybe even as a mid-term rental to 2x the rent.

Which makes sense because it benefits you.
