I'm not motivated, but the homes needed work I didn't want to do or I did if for strategic tax or debt shell game reasons.

I’ve seen cases where multiple tenants in a household had prior evictions from different addresses, taking turns as the primary leaseholder to avoid detection.

Since part of your property is a rental, I believe a portion of your mortgage interest should be a tax deduction unlike your other debt.

Note that I live in the Netherlands, which has many tax laws.thank you 

At a high LTV your leverage will be magnified.If your cash flow really is break even (I have my doubts) then with the magnification resulting from leverage, you could produce a fairly good return (ROI from leveraged appreciation, equity pay down, tax benefits).Good luck

Honest... not great but we had other tax reasons to get into them.   

Taxes/Insurance- depends a lot on where you are located.The homes themselves- POH or TOH? 

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

I just started using it and so far the owner info matches up with the county tax info. 

And she’s the one that released the latest tax rates and year to year comparisons in September of 2024.
