But I can't bring myself to accept a negative cash flow in the meantime, just on principle - it seems a lot more like speculation (Kiyosaki taught me better, lol).Anyway, thanks for sharing.

The form is called the BOE-58-AH Claim for Reassessment Exclusion for Transfer Between Parent and Child.

I would like to know what the general consensus on digital signatures is, and if you accept them do you have rules on what constitutes a valid signature (ie does typing your name in a blank count, or only cryptographic signatures allowed).

The answer is No (provided you do not knowingly encourage or facilitate the behaviour).All of our tenants sign an acceptable use agreement - not that different than what you would find in a business or other such organisation - along with their lease.  

In your opinion, is it realistic to find a good PM who will accept managing in an area like this and do a good job.

I don't think these are mutually exclusive.  

It is also against most boards for an agent to accept direct compensation for brokering a sale.  

Is this acceptable in your viewpoints for a long term buy and hold, where at years 7 and 8 a >20% COCR is achieved? 

Banks are limited and Quicken loans backs out of the deal at the 11th hour, trust me, I refuse to accept an offer with a QL and it's the regular buzz in the office that 'another deal fell through.'  

I would just make an offer I knew they wouldn't accept and kept it moving.
