@Vy LeRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

What Zach is saying here is that you won't be able to utilize the "STR Loophole" which refers to using any net loss from the STR business to offset any income from other sources like W2 income or 1099 business income.

Thanks in advance for patiently answering my question.PS: I don't have a CPA, and I'm in the process of getting one, but I wanted to get a frame of reference so I can roughly compare notes with anything my future CPA would propose.

I want to get references from other JV partners who have done this with DLP.

Are you referring to the crazy law where if you buy a property from a deceased person (we have had this happen via foreclosure) that you (even if you were the lender) are responsible for inheritence tax. 

if it's helpful to know, the place is a condo.David Best way is to be referred by your accountant and given exact math on how it will save you money on your specific tax scenario.

Generally, for the optimal refinance, these are top of mind for BRRRR strategy investors:Return of capital: The key “secret sauce” of the BRRRR method is to build portfolios using the same capital over and over—which relies on getting your basis (or more) back on the refinance, where basis refers to the money you invested in the property (down payment and cash used for renovations).Speed: Refinance lenders use the term “seasoning” to refer to the amount of time (typically in months) between the purchase of the property and the refinance.

Picture attached for reference and can gladly provide more. 

.- If still skeptical, ask for personal references from employers, community leaders, or other respected individuals who can vouch for their character and reliability.By using these methods, you can make a more informed decision about renting to this couple, giving them a fair evaluation while also protecting your interests as a landlord.

@Chandra Faulk,  What you're refering to is what we call a diversification exchange.
