The renovation budget can be artificially inflated so you can have a "cash pillow" for maintenance or anything else really.The conventional loan for purchase and rehab is the most commonly used by investorsIf you have a company it is also possible to apply for loans but it is necessary to have at least 6 months of activity.

(Run the numbers for them) If they're in an active bankruptcy that's also a factor.

Do I need to provide a notice to Tenants that I will be on the property doing maintenance if I do not need to enter any active tenants unit?

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

If the property is a personal property used for personal purposes, there is no depreciation since its not a business asset.There may be a chance that you have a home office within the home that is eligible for some write-off but you have to be using the home office towards a business activity.

I would check out the yellowbird facebook group, it's extremely active and focused on just Jacksonville and there will be people in the group that know the areas much better than me.
