Worth area a great market to own long term rentals.

The First is in Crestview FL with a long-term military tenant. 

(Not actively purchasing as my money is tied up in the market right now)...so with the 2 lenders i've gotten here:STR DSCR Rural (not a log cabin or other non-conforming structure) just remote sfrHybrid loan 15% down, interest only investment loan with seller paid points to get to ~8% and reduce closing costs DSCR would use long term rental rates to establish monthly DSCR and then offset monthly with average DTI and 800+ credit and high cash reserves as long as DSCR is .75+additional appraisal to establish STR rate estimates to be used alongside the standard long term rental rates5 year prepayment penalty with reasonable terms

Tell the tenant that his opinion carries zero weight, so he must submit proof from an ACCEPTABLE expert to support his alleged foundation issue.Until then, he will be held liable for the terms of his lease, to the fullest extent of the law.

Gradually increase the rent or be flexible in terms of them moving giving them time to find a new place without penalty of breaking a lease.

Look for a prime location, a tenant with strong corporate or franchisee credit, and a NNN long-term lease.

In short, my advice would be to think very hard about why you're quitting your job, and then create very detailed budget and financial plan.

My partner and I are looking to create a portfolio of long term rental properties to create freedom and independence from our W2 jobs, and create a foundation for generational wealth.

If they reject the offer, then I would play hard ball by enforcing every term of the lease and ensuring they participate in showings or face termination.
