I don't want to do joint ownership on the deed but rather want it solely in my name. 

@Bjorn AhlbladOnly u has key to unlock dumpster?

It protects people who made up to $99K individual or $200K jointly in 2020.

This also in a way reminds me of the GFC when U had all those strategic foreclosures.. in states with no deficiency judgement possible people did this in droves although there were always 1099C threat but then govmit came out and put a moratorium on that..   

You can structure as a joint venture (typically 5 or less partners) and this avoids the complexities and regulatory pitfalls of a syndication

(Be careful, there are sometimes lower limits on investment properties and owner occupied.)Anyway, lmk if you’re in town and want to talk real estate with me, San Diego glory stories or nursing horror stories with the wife. pizza and burger joints are open at least. 

And thank u I will start working on that

Very happy with the way the exterior is turning out and so are the current tenants.Hallway #1 got some paint, looking bright and clean, did the repairs to the ceiling ( the previous patch panel was held in place with nothing but joint compound)Sanding started and trim was painted in Hallway #2 and its coming along nicelyAPT 11 after some back and forth over design and a few supply setbacks got cabinets up and installed and the kitchen floor is in!

I'm not exactly sure about PA but here in CA we can't just kick them out even if we're fixing it up unless you plan on it being your primary residence which I'm guessing you're not.And when you add COVID on top of it, it becomes even more difficult if not impossible.Here's are a couple of great articles that should help:https://www.parealtors.org/new...https://www.equalhousing.org/u...Also, talk to a great real estate attorney and put them on retainer.
