Those are both ruses commonly used by sketchy tenants trying to fast-talk their way into your rental when they otherwise wouldn't be qualified.

and am i really the most qualified person to be the CEO of this business, or is it better to hold someone else accountable and I can go do what I would rather be spending my time on..It is like instead of buying a ticket on an airplane to go on vacation to Hawaii, you take flying lessons and learn to fly to do it yourself...

In almost all these cases none of the individuals qualify on their own under our 3x gross income guidelines but together they do.

Was curious how one may qualify/ be able to see receive these grants?

The key to the 1031 is that you have to use a 3rd party qualified intermediary to manage the 1031 process. 

Just both apply for your own FHA loans if you can both qualify haha.

If you start doing flips you don't have the option of a 1031 since fix n flips don't qualify. 

@Adam Rapoport or, if you qualify as an accredited investor, you can invest with hard money lenders or syndicators and own a portion of a larger asset.

The top realtor will do all the above and understand their client's skill level and financial situation and break down deals that best fit their client's needs.  

You can either give notice or increase the rent or both.As far as negotiation strategies you have to rely on your agent; hopefully you have picked a top producer, who has the skills to do that.
