Consider auto loans, inventory, commercial paper, annuities and even RE and equipment leases.

On my end, I would never purchase a property that won't produce at lease 1k in net cash flow, and it must be in a desirable area that is expected to appreciate.

Commercial value is frequently (but not always) calculated by income.  

I frequently speak with folks who are finding out that:A: They have a partial claimB: The partial claim amount is astronomically higher than expectedC: HUD failed to record their lien (not as common as A and B) and then was forced to pursue the homeowner after a saleSince FHA has been basically pushing everyone they can into a loan mod per "Covid mortgage rescue" plans, these will be an ongoing issue for many years to come.

I currently only have 1 duplex, however I want to set this up right so it will work for any size portfolio.Currently I haveHome folder>multi family/single family/legal documentsInside the multi family I have Name of property-> general property maintenance/first floor/second floor Inside of first floor (the one currently rented)I have, pictures (before and will have after) / lease documents / a spreadsheet with each month, what day rent was paid, if it was late, if late was fee paid?

Currently 12mo lease $1900/mo.

The problem is the HOA doesn't allow VRBO rentals, only year long leases so I wasn't able to generate cash with this property.

Lawn Care: Regular upkeep, normally the tenant's job on single family residences stated in the lease.7.

Get the easy stuff first - rent roll and lease end dates, any bills the landlord pays - common area maintenance, maybe water, sewer, taxes, and insurance.

Since I started renting out the house in May 2024 and will likely move out in 2025 after the leases for my current renters end, I have a question about depreciation.Can I depreciate the portion of the house that was being used for personal use, even though I was living in the house for part of 2023?
