It’s just 7 miles from the beach, 2 miles from a large new hospital and medical campus, and within 2 miles of the county government offices.

Yes In Gods BackYard (YIGBY) is an incentive program many states offer that allows churches and other religious non-profits to develop low-income housing on their land with speed and cost incentives.

Ohio also has a couple of other special rules such as the CAT tax and a funky bonus depreciation treatment.

However, this is a difficult qualification to meet, especially if you have a full-time job outside of real estate.Don’t worry if you aren’t able to qualify for REPS status, because there is another strategy that is referred to as a “loophole”, which is the STR strategy.Per Section 1.469-1T(e)(3)(ii)(A): there are six exceptions where your rental property income is not automatically considered to be “rental activity” and thus may unlock the door for being able to offset these losses against your active income.The average customer use is seven days or less.The average customer use is 30 days or less and significant personal services were provided (for example, daily housekeeping).Extraordinary personal services are provided, regardless of the duration of customer use.The rental is incidental to a non-rental activity.The property is available during defined business hours for non-exclusive use by various customers.The property is used in an activity conducted by an S Corporation, partnership or joint venture in which the taxpayer holds an interest.If your property qualifies by meeting one of the exceptions above, the next step is to demonstrate material participation in the rental activity.

That's non-negotiable.

When the lease ends you would just non-renew them.

Study HOA documentation prior to purchase as rental restrictions can limit the usage as an income property, especially when HOA is non-cooperative.

You could give notice of non-renewal to one or more of the tenants, renovate those units, and then incrementally increase the rent of the other tenants.

Terminate their lease for non-compliance.
