If he does not want to pay the increased amount he will leave in his own.

If I buy a property built before a certain year that currently has tenants in it, I cannot raise there current rents beyond the allowable increase for the year(3%-4%)  I would have to wait until any of the units becomes vacant to raise rents to current rent rates.Is this correct so far? 

(Credit score over 800)2018-We committed to increasing our real estate holdings.In February we bought a condo in Pensacola, Fl.

Imminent Interest rate increases through 2019 will negate any appreciable price increase and indication of a general cooling off nationwide is coming.You should approach the lenders to let them have the project.

But instead I'm debating on doing only a 20% down, which will be a significant increase to my current mortgage on the smaller house, and use a good chunck of the 20%, to either pay off student loans ($65k, saving about $700/mo in payments that can be used to offset mortgage), or using it to put down on rentals (multifamily). 

However, due to the appreciation play, we can see this increasing 3.5-4% over that time, including maybe 5-7% each of the first 3 years.

Their go to fix for problems is a tax increase of some kind.

I'll give him 33% of the rent increases and the strike price for the option will be $2.2 million (107x gross monthly rent - CAP of 7.4% with no vacancy built in). 

Yes the IRS will negotiate but don't expect them to and expect that it will be a considerable hassle. my guess is that if you have it under contract they would negotiate with you.
