I’m not sure how investors are managing their properties from a different state when it seems to be impossible to find a reliable good property management company in Cahokia, do you have any advice or suggestions on this?  

On the other hand, this phrase is often used by the likes of Uncle G (who, having an accounting degree, should really know better) to suggest claiming personal expenses as business deductions.

Quote from @Nicole Heasley Beitenman: When I was starting, I found a resource in FF that suggested pricing $300-500 above LTR rates.

Do you suggest adding a package to my digital guidebook or offering it differently?

If you are looking to be an investor then I would suggest you don't be an agent that is a poor mans game and it will make it way more difficult to find deals. 

I'm curious to know how often property managers actively suggest value-add activities for properties (ie, building an ADU, remodeling, buy-fix-hold opportunities etc etc). 

Need more information surrounding why your current lender is suggesting they cannot utilize the rental income on your investment property.

The Port Charlotte duplex...given it hasn’t suffered hurricane damage...could command a pretty penny on its own.I recall reading a piece in Forbes that suggests certain Florida markets could remain strong for years, which might help you gauge whether now is the right time to sell.

Any suggestions on that?

Like your post title suggests, you die to avoid the taxes.
