In my mind, the options soften the blow and don't scare the tenants away as easily.  

Win-Win situation if it's not mandatory that I provide it.

Some personal favorites: Start with Why by Simon Sinek, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, Talking to Strangers by Malcom Gladwell.

I am trying to learn as much as possible about coming up with offers that allow everyone involved to walk away with a win, as I get closer to closing my first deal. 

That should easily push them above the 3x rent rule.On the other hand, if you’re in a hot market, you could give them a 30 day notice so you can get full market rent… or talk to them about making preparations to move out on Jan 1st or Feb/March. 

As J Scott stated, the "lender" typically is not on title, the other entity with brains/brawn would hold title, you would hold the deed of trust and promissory note (plus personal guarantee rider from both individuals) against the property.Another structure option would be for you to also join in on title as a partner for an equity share in the deal and that can be structured in any format you all deem a win/win/win.

Not easily, and very achievable with great return for the effort: the ability to say the word “no.”

A win for the little guy! 

Bought - $72KAll in - $81KARV - $125KCould easily get $850 for rent, but would shoot for $915Monthly Cash flow - $178

These folks smell your desperation, your newness and can easily emotionally manipulate you by dangling an allusion of their wealth in front you.
