Deals with approved ADU plans are especially attractive because they offer a higher return and flexibility for future buyers, making it a prime investment opportunity.

Thinking of trying to LTR it until I have my feet wet, then begin STR during some future turnover. 

Since retiring 7 years ago I’ve been fortunate to be able to take the time to really think about what future goals that I have for myself and my family and I'm now ready to embark on a new adventure in real estate.

My brother recently installed Lifeproof Dusk Cherry and I thought it looked really good and plan on using it in future rentals. 

You presented a perspective I had completely overlooked.Would you still recommend negotiating a lower purchase price vs cashier's check on closing given that we're in a higher income tax bracket and thus capital gains tax could come into play in the future? 

Think they have a bright future and really like them now.

However in the future because  of how these things tend to go, I would not have called insurance or a remediation company, I would have just fixed it immediately before it got too bad then warned the tenant not to do it again (and to be fair to them it’s odd that simply hanging a picture would cause a major plumbing leak, the likelihood of that happening is so low) and moved on.

If you expect to refinance in the near future, I would take this into consideration.

If you made it this far I want to thank you for your time in reading my post and look forward to future connections. 

If they refuse to sign, there is a checkbox for the Landlord to indicate that and document the date you provided the information.https://www.dhcd.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/Docx/landl...My future leases, I'm going to offer this up BEFORE the lease signing.
