They write their name or property address on the deposit slip and I can view the actual deposit slip.I also use Zelle which is instantly transferred to my bank account and is supported by all the major banks and is likely built into your banks app.I do not venmoe, it is slow and I have better 3rd parties.I also have some that use ACH transfers.All of these that I use are free to use.If they don't pay on their own then I give them a warning and if that doesn't work I start the eviction.I want rent to come in with no interaction from me.

HOA becomes insolventHOA doesn't put away enough money in reservesIf one entity buys more than 20% of the unitsIf the investor concentration exceeds 50% and there are other reasons but those are the ones we see most oftenIf it's non-warrantable, you've essentially bought into something, through no fault of your own, that you will have a difficult time reselling because it will be difficult to get financed. 

What @Ashish Acharya nailed as the issue is that the contribution of that property after the exchange into a disregarded LLC (one member - your tax return and doesn't file it's own tax return) is perfectly fine.  

I am not saying tha you have not been offered a legitimate loan but as they say, " something just doesn't smell right".

Sounds like a tough sell; if she's sentimental about the house, she probably doesn't want to see it become apartments for strangers.I can't even convince my friends with no kids to live in duplexes... they are just too content to pay $1,500/month for the privilege of not having to hear footsteps above them every once in a while.

I'd assume that someone like you doesn't have people offering you a million dollars very often to start a business. 

Only four of the units are being rented out, four of the unoccupied units need to be completely refurbished and the owner doesn't have a P&L.

If the 1031 doesn’t look promising in our case, what are some other options?

No money down doesn't really exist.There some exceptions.

Hey all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered and a solution I came up with.I am using the MLS as one of the sources of my deals searching.While the MLS is great, it doesn't offer me as an investor any filtering options, or actually any other 'advanced' option rather than viewing the listings.So, in the past few weeks I've been working hard on a solution for my problem and I am happy to share that I have a first working test version!
