I have gotten my license but I work out of the country for many days out of the year currently so self managing just isn't feasible for me or something I want to take on. 

@Craig Swiney I know this message was some time ago but I am wondering how did it work out for you?

Moving forward, work out a solution that works best for both of you.

If you have rental upside, it could work out.

Surprisingly enough because of low taxes and interest rates the numbers in certain ways seem to work out. 

I am thinking10k credit should work out, right.

@Dave Foster awesome, I was actually unaware of the primary residence exemption so that could work out even better than 1031 I think.

I have only come across 15% DSCR loans, but with the higher interest rates, those don't really work out for us.Lastly, when are your monthly meetups? 

This deal CAN still be done, but the owner in FL has to step forward and work out a resolution with the IRS, which can certainly be done, and, depending on the owner's other circumstances, the resolution may be quite favorable to the owner.  

I've heard Ohio is a good place to consider BTW and may be looking there for my next property if the numbers work out.
