If you are in business only hire the best. 

Usually, one party has more funds and the other party has the experience and time to be more hands on with the business. 

I run a kitchen design and supply business.

I'd want the business to be inherited by my family.

His business plan I like what he does.

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

My wife and I are based in Florida and work as non-profit business consultants.

A lot of manpower is lost.As we approach our busy section 8 season (for us April - July) I am looking for better ways (more affordable and efficient options to the investors bottom line) to plan for and execute the workload which may include hiring someone that has section 8 experience to handle our CHA inspections(and associated maintenance work) or a company that we can outsource when the weeks get slammed with inspections. 

I own 1 profitable rental property and I am retired, keep separate records on my rental property.According to IRS guidance it states:  "If an interest in real estate fails to satisfy all the requirements of the safe harbor, it may still be treated as a trade or business for purposes of the section 199A deduction if it otherwise meets the definition of a trade or business in the section 199A regulations."

Relying on the fraud working is a bad way to do business.
