Do not expect them to be proactive in their communication when it comes to renewing leases or anything else.There have been 3 instances where accounting has messed up on my account resulting in more than or less than the normal amount being deposited into my bank account.

Sounds like you have a good understanding of the strategy.I normally work with clients by giving them a price range of a property they need to buy to get to their desired tax bracket.Best of luck.

So rent to a normal instead of s8

If you're already pre-approved, I would recommend verifying that your lender can service a non-warrantable condo and is keeping the loan in-house.It's completely normal to second-guess a decision like this—there's always some speculation involved.

Use that number as your comparison for what it would cost if you bought a multifamily rental.Second, mortgage rates are higher than they were (and more where they'd normally be, the last ~15 years had them artificially low) and house prices are higher, so don't look at what people did 10 years ago. 

So you're buying a property 'normally'. 

Then decides who he is going to assign to fulfil those parts- such as the six foot fence, and the security guard company. 6 foot fence rental can be expensive, security guards 24 hours a day can be expensive also, and on top of the contractual requirement, some security guard companies will require two or three guards on your site plus a supervisor visit due to its remote location or fear of the guards of the local bad guys.

If anyone has any advice or can point me to a portion of this forum that would help me get my footing, I would greatly appreciate it!

I normally buy and hold but this happens to be a flip I did, so this is fairly new to me.

Forecast every possibility that could go wrong....I'd consult with a very good attorney and an accountant who specializes in real estate investment as they normally have seen every scenario possible.
