However, as W2 earners, these losses are considered passive and can only offset passive income unless you or your spouse qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS) by meeting the 750-hour and material participation requirements or STR is used.

If it requires a mobile closing we use Michigan Investment Title because they willclose anywhere at no cost unless it's a ruralarea but downside is they require wires for everything which alot of title companies are starting to require anyways.

My issues with RentRedi have not risen to the level requiring immediate action. 

I do it myself and takes 20 to 30 minutes a month (did it yesterday for Dec), with about 7 of those minutes for 1 property in Blount County, TN which requires the form to be manually filled out, write a check, address an envelope, scan doc and check for my records and walk it to my mailbox.

It seems like every city, county, and state has its own rules, permits, and tax requirements for short-term rentals, and I’m finding it overwhelming to navigate all the different layers of compliance.For example, some places require business licenses, transient occupancy tax permits, or even special zoning approvals.

From fluctuating interest rates to evolving buyer demand, navigating today’s market requires flexibility and strategy.Are you seeing more opportunities in flips, rentals, or commercial properties?

The implication is to lower rents requires reducing the cost of ownership.
