I don’t have a lot of these details so I can’t provide much help hereIf it’s a long-term rental (27.5 years).You can’t start depreciating the property until it is “Placed in service”.

Quote from @Milan Herskovich: I haven't seen the details, but it appears the new inspection process will be more stringent and more frequent. 

I am looking for a house inspector who goes into every tiny details that need attention and uses a good reporting tool to look at the issues.

I will recommend that the person send me a personal message so that I can send them the meetup details since BP does not allow us to share that information in the public forum.Keep up the great work sir @Jonathan Greene

Great thanks for the detailed reply.

would you mind sending more details on this via dm ?

Hi Steven, thank you so much for the detailed advice :) Podcasts are my absolute priority at the moment.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Such a fascinating poll!

QBO automations are great and while you can use it some, REI is tricky because there are so many moving parts and details to account for.
