.: I haven't passed this past legal review so for what its worth: Part of my standard requirements for everyone include income is at least 3X rent, minimum credit score, say 640, Clean record and no evictions as well as deposit is paid in full at signing of lease and 1st month rent is paid in full prior to handing over the keys.

The problem, other than this going against my philosophy of keeping everything passive, is I don’t think I’ll be able to get into the property to walk the inside prior to purchase and have no clue what I’m getting into.

My investor has prior experience in Fountain Hills.

Some people online (I’d be especially wary of prior Quest employees who were long ago let go as well as opportunistic custodian vultures) are being real a**hats & throwing tantrums over that…along with Quincy under the bus.

If it's currently an STR they should be able to provide you with the p/l statement from prior years so you can see gross rents, operating expenses, average daily rates and occupancy levels.

Many experienced investors are humming a long similar to prior to the rate hikes.  

Instead, focus on verified income and ensure applicants don’t owe previous landlords or have prior evictions.

So I steer clear of them and instruct my team to pass those people along to me to handle.I also have nothing more than my word and all of our 80+ all 5 star reviews. 

You can then sell it or keep living in it at that point at a new capital basis (you’ve locked in prior cap gains avoidance), but keep the old property tax basis.

The withholding can also be stopped altogether, and only actual taxes owed will be collected by filing form MW506NRS at least 21 days prior to settlement and filing it with the Comptroller of Marylands office to get the exact actual tax owed calculated.
