IANAL but to require a tenant to carry would likely expose you to some levels of liability. 

People get too carried away with living completely for free, but literally cutting your living expenses down at all is still progress. 

Make sure your PM has written authorization to represent you in court, some counties require a notarized letter or power of attorney form for that.

The letters help when paired with real deals; by themselves, the ROI is thin.

Keep your rehab scope tight and comp-driven so you can finish fast, avoid scope creep, and protect carrying costs.

If the potential pool of buyers is opened up by the seller willing to finance a part of the purchase price, the addition of so many more potential buyers will result in an increased selling price.And if the seller carry back financing can be wrapped around a low interest existing loan, then wealth accumulation for the seller can be accelerated, as they will be making money not only on their personal capital, but the current lenders capital as well.To illustrate the point I’ll provide an actual example of a transaction my partner and I completed about two years ago (I am “rounding” the numbers to make it easier to follow).

So, I sold to someone and carried the loan; he stopped making payments and I foreclosed on him.

Focus on total monthly carrying costs versus realistic market rents, and consider factors like lot rent, utilities, and maintenance.

Whatever a tenant's issues are - do NOT get sucked into carrying!!!

We did not know that you have to carry the debt (boot) in a 1031 exchange.
