Now we're seeing incredible population and job growth and major companies moving and developing here like Intel and Amazon - great macroeconomics and strong rental demand.

I will treat a witness as a trespasser.I want to really emphasize that this lady is a major headache and may have mental issues.It is possible she has been fired from her job as well. 

Do one task at a time in each app so you can compare apples to apples.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.

Note: This all pertains to the 2022 tax year and I still have a W-2 job which is the main source of my income.Given I've only owned a rental for one year (also my first home ever) and I'm very new to rental-related taxes, I of course hired a "good" tax advisor/CPA to help ensure I stay out of trouble with the IRS.

@Nathan Gesner My justification for taking the risk is that I have a solid W2 job so I can afford to take a hit for a couple of months for vacancies and maintenance.
