I ended up hiring a local attorney who specialized in landlord-tenant disputes, and while it cost me a bit more upfront, it was worth it to get the situation resolved without additional delays.A close friend of mine also delt with an out-of-state eviction in Michigan last year.

I'll be upfront- the nature of our interaction with our clients will also become more scale-friendly as we grow. 

The best way to find an investor friendly broker is at a RE meetup, but you can also just ask around in your local network or google.

Recoup those expenses, my friend.

But there is no black and white guidance that I could find.And, in conclusion...1st conclusion: no FICA until the child's 18th birthday.2nd conclusion: tax law is muddy (I would add two capital letters, but it's a family-friendly forum)3rd conclusion: pay your CPA, we have to deal with it daily, and it takes skill

I have a rule , never do business with family or friends .

We’re being funny because there's still a bit of nuance here.There are strict guidelines and it's sometimes a blurry line between being an RE pro vs not.

Mid-term is more likely to work in any market than STR, but I think you would be surprised at how well an STR could do if there are no other options like that in the area (think people's parents or friends coming in for the week(end)).I've seen a lot of people grimacing at the net-negative house hack (it's just a product of rates and low inventory in a lot of markets) and this is one option to try to recoup some of that loss.

If you haven't already connected with an investor-friendly lender yet I'd highly suggest that.

So, it's either get your real estate license or have a really good friend who will list them for you who wants to look them up (but most agents don't know what they are doing and do it wrong).
