Set up phone calls and luncheons.

They are not on the MLS.I can help find properties, set up mgt, etc.

A blind monkey can set up a listing search for you. 

@Michael TarverFirst one is just a set of steps.The second is just a facade.Neither are foundation related.

Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by @Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. 3.

My original plan was to put a HELOC on each unit and pull 80% of the value out to recoup my cash, however now I’m considering doing a cashout refi in six months for the same amount or more.Using the HELOC, my original plan was to take a 50k line on each unit and use all of my cash flow (no money set aside for reserves/profit) to not only pay the interest but also the principle down.

I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but setting something up like this for the future would likely eliminate this problem next time. 

It seems to me if the tenant truly is willing to offer up $300K down that he is serious about the property and that he is confident they will have financing set up by the time their lease is up (22 months).  

Not taking full advantage of all the incentives they provide for the work and the life is setting yourself up for a fall.

Setting that and sticking with it is how you accomplish a "job well done" and stay on budget.Look, I am a sucker for a sob story and a go getter attitude.
