For her the best bet might be to form her own LLC and have the two llcs take the property has tenants in common.

I called the local Habitat for Humanity but didn't know what department to talk to so left a message on their main line. 

The other ideas I have is to (1) get cell towers for the building as its taller than the surrounding buildings and has great line-of-site (2) offer signage to either billboard companies for the roof or on the side of the building.If you have experience or information on courting cell companies, billboard companies and what they may add to the property bottom-line, please chime in! 

I always, always have a thought along those lines and I was wondering if you guys have felt the same way or how to get over it.

A few takeaways for us:-we were able to rent back because we had an alternate short-term living situation lined up with my in-laws (free rent)-we had to limit the rent back to 60 days max because of our mortgage terms (required owner occupancy within 60 days)-we didn't use a long lease or anything.

Before you purchase a property, I would suggest going to your bank and applying for an increase in your credit card and line of credit limits (don't use them, just have more space available).

I'm thinking my best bet is to pay them down as much as I can.  

Get a line of credit for $150k. 

I already had a tenant lined up ready to sign a 1 year lease but after hearing about this family's circumstances I decided to meet with them and show them the house.

Are there any lenders that would be interested in giving me a line of credit on my rental property?
