If you’re going to do this with partners I’d have all 3 or 4 of you come up with 6-7% down each, treat them like individual deals.

Rentals get treated harder so the time and effort to keep carpet for example take a lot more effort and work.

Since the tenant has not responded to us, I feel that I can at least attempt to enter the unit with law enforcement to do a health and welfare check to see what's going on in this unit since this tenant is not contacting us.I'm looking for any way to treat this situation at the moment.

We've been treated differently before in different settings.

I'd look up the fair housing laws and see where this falls for you (you may not be subject to fair housing rules) How would you treat them if they were just roommates?

Off paper-He will treat it as a 1-year lease and only raise the nominal annual amount.

We worked very hard to find a good tenant (amazes me how casual some investors treat this), and have the background to do much of the maintenance/repairs ourselves. 

What kind of overgrown infants treat someone else's property like that?!

You can't lose in Columbus, those guys at REAFCO will treat you well!

I wouldn't want to deal with the headache's of owning RE in an Inherited IRA.NOTE to anyone else reading this, they changed the way beneficiary IRA's are treated so this is not a formula you can use for anyone who has died after December 31, 2019.
