Dont take the easy way out and sell the house.

I own a townhouse in Arbutus MD, and I have been house hacking since this month.

It just takes a little time/effort to get the right information to stick.1.

Quote from @Mike Hansen: When out of state investing, how does one go about appealing their tax assessment?

But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.

Without solid knowledge on this subject, you can easily end up in hot water. 

You'd want to work with the REIT sponsor and your CPA to understand the expected timeline for this a bit more.  

I used the background and credit checks offered through Cozy. 

I have done some research, but I’ve found that many mentors and coaches are asking for significant fees, which feels like a large financial commitment, especially as a newcomer to real estate investing.

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it?
