There are a lot of factors involved in pricing health insurance. How big is your family? What level of coverage did you choose? What's your deductible? How much do you make? 

The average is around $500 for an individual and $1100 for a family.

I can only suggest you shop around.

Kaiser Permanente if you are in a Kaiser state...no hassles...might cover you in DR....(???)

Unfortunately Texas is not a Kaiser State.

But in my opinion cost is not apples to apples with Kaiser, due to how comfortable they are to deal with (In California).

They are kind of their own thing, with all of the big hospitals and etc...

Good Luck!

Everyone here self manages for the most part. Your post says you manage but you have a property manager. A bit confusing. Just cut out the manager and hire your own cleaner and use GUESTY for hosts 

Hey. I have a few ideas I’ve either tried or read about with regards to cleaners. I manage my own a cohost a few others . Turnify was one company I met with although don’t personally used. Let me know if you want to chat offline 

With something like this, having a conversation about expectations is absolutely crucial. I would have a meeting with them and let them know what you expect in regards to communication etc. Let them know how happy you are with other aspects they are managing for you etc. Then let them know the importance of needing effective communication in all aspects of the management business. 

Once you have this conversation with them, I would ask them for their ideas on how they can rectify the situation. If their plan works for you great! If it isn't up to their standards I would work on collaborating with them to see if you can come up with a solution together. 

If all of this fails, then I would look for a different company. 

follow the interest tracing rules.

Some of the interest may need to be capitalized during the period of construction.
If you can show that the loan was used to acquire, build, renovate the property, then potentially the interest is deductible.
