My concern is this: essentially the tenant would be paying me under the table for the remaining rent not covered by the voucher.

Great little house.I can see why it's rented so much--it's very nice.From the picks, the "Outdoor Grotto" with the sunbrella table looks more Ghetto than Grotto and does not keep with niceness of the rest of the house or the rest of the pics.The table looks like trail dust has been on it forever, ditto the chairs, and the leaves look messy compared to the rest of the excellent house.Maybe clean it up and get a blue new looking sunbrella (???)

I was out of town so it was just my son and his realtor at the closing table. 

It would expose the property to significantly more buyers and would likely bring you (and your family) a higher sales price.It sounds like you may be treading a fine line with not wanting to cut your broker in on the commission by avoiding the MLS, and instead trying to arrange an under the table deal where your family pays you a fee directly? 

I just don't like leaving money on the table. 

Often, homeowners have unrealistic expectations for the selling price of their properties and will become more realistic after their property has been on the market for a few months.Check back in with the seller every few weeks to see if they are ready to come back to the table and make concessions – you can also use this time to refine your strategy and figure out exactly how to get them to lower their asking price.3.

This was a tremendous win for real estate investors, and it provides a unique opportunity for the passive investor to take advantage of tremendous passive losses the first year they invest in an investment through the syndication model.In the same example as above ($375,000 house with land worth $100,000), your depreciation expense could be closer to $100,000 in the first year compared to the $10,000 per year for $27.5 years.

Every single deal is unique and comes with its own pros and cons.I recommend you underwrite this deal on its own.

It is a very unique property that consists of a "tree house" that is purposely designed as a couple's retreat - it's very romantic and has all the right touches. 

@Pepper Bradford-  thanks - 1) anyone thats  bringing in  funds for the  down payment on a  inv purchase  will need to be a  co borrower and go on the loan / title   2)  this isnt  anyhting unique or new   for  traditional lenders    3)  many investors  will  balk  at  having to  provide your  lender  all their  financials / tax  returns  etc ....maybe you can  find some that  are OK with this
