I've spoken with multiple real estate agents, property managers, and investors who have all noticed the same thing. 

Just my 2 cents of what I notice, so if you have experience on those topics share it, and it will pay off.

I've noticed many investors initially write their contracts under an LLC, only to later amend the contract to their personal name to secure better financing options.

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

However, these are the ones most commonly used:Five-of-Ten-Year Test: You must have materially participated in the activity for any five of the past ten years.500-Hour Test: You must have materially participated in the activity or activities for 500 hours in the current tax year.Step 3: Calculation your participation hoursEnsure you are tracking your participation hours.

Did you not notice it was missing when they sent you the good faith HUD form? 

Similar, average rent in san diego is noticeably higher than $100/day.  

Looking at pure spreadsheet math and common convention; if you pay down your mortgage you are effectively making that interest rate on your money. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Are these common now?
