I've recently moved to SC and am trying to get into REI here. 

Not sure if you can garnish commissions and if I could then she might just move to another broker.   

My ultimate goal is to become successful with my real estate investments so I don’t have to rely so much on my job and be able to spend more time at home with my soon to be wife and future children.

I originally had the thought and opportunity to do so in Reno/Sparks in 2015 but didn't move on it.

After a tenant moves out, a landlord has 21 days to either-Return all of the security deposit-Return the security deposit minus any deductions along with an itemized statement.

So, I would work to increase your knowledge and experience and really identify a strategy that suits you before moving forward with anything. 2.

As far as home office no longer being an IRS "red flag" I guaranty that if you put a home office deduction on a personal return on Turbo Tax it will move their audit risk needle.

Think of them more as a partner in assisting you meet your goals.

Definitely will be moving my other rentals over to him.  

There is a spot on the brick exterior wall that you can move with your foot.
