No attorney does more closings than a title company, and the title companies are in the business of minimizing risk. 

@Steven Torok - since an LLC is only a legal hedge of protection it doesn't offer any tax benefits since it acts as a pass through entity.You'll be paying income tax on any profits that your rentals show, regardless of what you do with the money (whether you buy more real estate or a Porsche).However, if you refinance the properties, you can often show a loss for each rental property after depreciation/taxes/mortgage/expenses.

The mentality of wont take a loss is great in theory but a small loss on one deal to take the money and buy another deal where you will make money is the smarter play.

Terms like Additional Insured, Additional Interest, Loss Payee, etc could apply depending on the scenario.  

My policy has been to either use cheap materials that can easily be replaced between tenants with minimal grumbling, or pay for durable, tenant-resistant materials.

ultimately any gain or loss will be split 50/50 between you two.

They trashed it on the way out - literally throwing garbage all over the outdoor area and I received a violation from the city and had to spend about $1K to get it cleaned up.I eventually sold the property at a loss about 5-6 months after purchasing it - around mid 2018. 

I am currently house hacking to cover my living expenses and have minimized my general expenses.

I appreciate your take on this, definitely gives me a lot to think about in terms of timing on this as not to loss that tax free benefit
