I haven't done any cost segs on any of my SFH rentals.  

Hi, @Mike Lambert I've been talking to some credit intermediaries to get some clarification on the various financing options available.

I think you could split after sale for a non-taxable event, the total basis transferred in would be split across the two "new" properties.Calling @Dave Foster to give his insights here, lots going on in this one.

Here's a detailed guide on how to screen applicants: Application Screening Guide

Congrats on your pre-retirement @Robin Smith ! 

Am I on the right track?

Depending on what you're looking for, you can find a good mix of affordable properties, especially in the under $200K range.

You can go to a local title company to run a quick title search for about $200 or you can do it yourself if your county records are online.

James,Have you asked the client what the entries on his sheet mean?

First off, congrats on making it to your senior year—that's a huge achievement!
