What is the professional way to move forward on selling your rental property to your tenant.

I am an accidental real estate investor who wants to become a professional real estate investor.I inherited a duplex when I was about 12 or 13 and rented it to a family member for a long time.

I have learned to only take advice or criticism from professionals who have done what I would like to learn.

This was when I realized that if I will have longevity in this game, I need to be a pro!

The number one thing in my opinion is to bring up the issue to the property owners in a professional and not aggressive manner.

I have some money managed professionally and have had a 9% return overall the past two years.

Aim for 8-13% CAP, buy in nice areas that are appreciating and rent to young professionals, don't be greedy with your rent.

A coach is a teacher, and teachers need to get paid for their professional expertise.There is nothing wrong with having a teacher.

Been reading the books and dragging my feet for years while I established my professional career (love it, not looking to leave, just supplement).So I live in a nice college town where occupancy rates are high and the leases run 12 mos. and I'm ready to get into the game.

It seems quite clear (as you have repeatedly stated) that most landlords who are non-RE professionals do not have to issue 1099-MISCs when they pay more than $600 in a tax year for services.
