Reverse exchanges - For those in special need and with the right amount of profit a reverse exchange takes all the pressure off finding your replacement property.I think you and I probably agree that the timelines can cause issues. 

@Marc Winter Yes, I agree, there's no tenant maintenance.

Thanks for the response Dmitri, I agree as it is NOW it is not a good deal.  

@Kim Hopkins I completely agree with @Priyanshu AdathakkarIf anyone else wasn't cutting it in their work - it's simple... they'd get fired.

And I agree that real estate can be a flight to safety when there is concern over elevated prices in all asset classes (#10 above).

You just need to get the tenants to agree to it in the lease and you simply bill the tenants back by means described in the lease...done!

I agree with @Tim Gordon and @Dan Heuschele.Consider becoming a licensed agent as your side job during school.

Unless I’m missing something here, overall I personally don’t think many people would agree to something like this unless you were trying to help them stay in their home... but most of these people can’t afford to which is why they aren’t paying in the first place.

And I certainly agree with Eric that an attorney is imperative.What's really I guess at the foundation of my questions is this:If a person who is in a bind - and I see this often - where they aren't behind enough to warrant a short sale, but they don't want to show up to closing table with let's say $10,000.

Sellers—agreed to make NO repairs after inspection, but agreed to pay $1,000 at closing to buyers for repairs to be made (on a $119,000 house that had just been fully renovated).
