I can add my mortgage, retirement accounts, income, bank accounts and credit card accounts.

I do understand I went from the top tier tenant that will pay the most for the perfect setup down to the unit that can be paid for with section 8 and will attract a lessor tenant or someone single / new young family / retired / disabled / fixed income etc.Here's the deal figures With closing paid , seller counters 10k above my offer, 6% VA loan, no points Does the property lacking those features make it a deal breaker ?

Here is 3 scenarios: conservatively projected low/medium/ and scenario 3 is actual recent net returns  (unlikely repeatable right now) I'm looking for alternative ideas to deploy $150-200k down payment on a much larger investment than a 1br house, so I can play the appreciation game as well as the income game.

.$6,000 for strategizing supposing you have a monthly 30 minute phone call is $500 an hour.If the cost is $10,000, and your tax rate is 35%, they would have to decrease your taxable income by atleast $30,000 for the cost to justify the cost. 

For better or worse, either exiting tenant has the place cleaned or the incoming will do it (I never ask the incoming tenant, it just works it way into the conversation). 

Any info is welcome.thanksI live in Vancouver BC and use Larson Gross in Washington State for my US tax returns/filings (various states). 

A good way to forecast rental demand is to also look at economic data from FRED - population growth over the past few years, median housing income, job growth, crime rate, schools, ethnicity mix, etc.

This will allow you to acquire more rental units and also being able to use the vacated unit rents at 75% to help your debt to income ratio DTI.There is a FHA 100 mile rule if you do plan on using FHA on your 2nd house hack.

Is he required to issue me a 1099 form for rental income for 2023 taxes?

If they don't set it up correctly, they could lose a lot of anticipated income and have to foreclose.Disadvantages to the buyer include, if it isn't set up correctly and the seller dies, ownership may be in question with a long painful lawsuit.
