Every one have a choice to quit whenever they can. 

If I pay you one month's rent to fill a vacancy, stand behind your tenant choice and spread it over the tenancy or at least 6 months.By triage repair requests - I mean to ask a clarifying question or 2.  

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on the channel and think you might find the info beneficial. 

It was the old tenant's choice to move out early for the compensation they received...its has nothing to do with you.You would of been in trouble if you forced them out.

The accumulated passive losses will not go away and if they accumulate long enough, can be a nice break against your other income later when you sell.Note that if you are married, your choices for filing are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separate.  

From my opinion, if the mortgage is still covered and you aren't having to come out of pocket to pay for it then it sounds like a good choice.

Your choice.

Wouldn't you want an insider selecting them if you had a choice?  

Two of you with no experience would not be as beneficial to you as working with someone with experience.I'm not saying I wouldn't partner on individual deals if the right opportunity came up, I probably would consider it, if I knew the person, but I have zero interest in any partnership where I didn't maintain 51% ownership and controlling interest. 

Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to create a mutually beneficial investment plan?
