At the moment I am not liquid enough to put 25% down of the project LTC loan.

I have a seller that wants to sell cash but the tenants lease expires in 6 months!

After this point you would use the schedule E income that shows the rental income that you claim. 

If they don't want to then just say N E X T!!

I'm viewing it as more of an investment, so don't want to tie up too much of my liquid capital in a down payment.

We have an inherited tenant in a fourplex we purchased 15 months ago who was served a 60-day notice to vacate after his lease expired.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Take the e course if you haven't already from the guy who runs the note symposium.

If your landlord doesn't seem interested in just letting your lease go M2M when it expires, then you might let them know you are unsure whether you'll still be in the area in the next 6-12 months and would be willing to pay $X more per month to go M2M.  

First if you get your RE licence don't ever let it expire!!
