But you need to be careful - some of the really good deals were severely flooded in the hurricanes and many require hefty flood insurance.  

@Justin R.Can’t say I’ve had to deal with it personally but gifting or selling a part of a property comes with several implications: how to take title, right of lender to call the loan, right to partition, gift tax, property tax reassessment, capital gains, etc.Also, I’m not sure how accurate that link you attached is with regard to the current law but your 2 bullet summary above seems to leave out some other options.

I work with several other investors here in Boise and Meridian.

The problem is a bad faith tenant may want to come and go multiple times for an hour at a time for several weeks. 

Hi @Diane Dib, I have had several houses with this issue.

Heard a funny story once where some first-time buyer was at the tail end of a several month FHA purchase and had a surprise divorce... supposedly the realtor ended up "purchasing" his swing-set for $3,500 to get him over the bar for required funds, and had to supply the bank with a notarized letter of purchase so they wouldn't write the deposit off as an un-seasoned gift. 

If you have several rental properties (it sounds like you do) it would probably make sense to do cost segregation to take full advantage of accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation.

The property is being sold by a daughter who is moving her mom out of state to live with her, since her mom's health has deteriorated.

attitude, more common in similar threads to this dating several years back, is being replaced by responses that indicate some decency. 

If you need any connections to contractors, insurance agents, title companies, appraisers, deals (off-market single families, duplexes, fully renovated turnkey properties, multifamily properties, buy and hold deals etc I have several deals that come across my desk each day), recourse and/or non-recourse lenders, my opinion on potential properties you are analyzing to buy etc I am more than happy to help you.
