I guess I can see the whole "discouraging speculation" angle, but the entire stock market is essentially speculative--do they also propose a 25% tax on other capital gains on property held for less than five years?

May anyone know an estimate how much the impact fees will cost based on this situation?

But why would paying off the properties impact the repairs, insurance and taxes?

One of the wonderful things about rentals is the crash had little impact on my long-term plan.

That will give me my first deal with essentially no money down, and give him $10g to hold himself over until he can get back on his feet...no pun intended :) His mortgage is currently $900 per month.

How much impact will Coronavirus have with real estate? 

Please take a moment to review the following and consider the impact on your expenses and the wear/tear on the property:https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/adding-roommate-lease-or-rental-30187.htmlIf the roommate passes the application and screening, you definitely want them to be on the lease as fully responsible for the entire lease and rent.

Do they just essentially provide all money up front (minus your contribution) and they have a first lien against it, just like a mortgage company would? 

Would this significantly impact returns come year 7 if tenants decide to leave?

@Mike McCarthy and @Chris Mason Thank you so much both for your responses.Fast forward to the future, should I fix this discrepancy after closing the deal to reduce my Taxes or it is going to impact me negatively when I decide to renew rentals or sell this property?
