I generally try to put my October through January lease starts on 18 month initial terms to better align with more favorable leasing periods when the units come back to market.

I'm looking for alternatives, I liked LandlordStudio actually but I hate the name, seems so impersonal to the tenants and not in their favor.  

Prove yourself, and they will want to return the favor.

The seller feels showing the invoice was a favor, it weird situation i am in, has anybody face such situation?

Our economic system has inflation, which favors the banks, baked into the system.

Probably not, but I'd see what my CPA and attorneys have to say.Be a pain having tenants pay you twice too.Also, passive income is already treated pretty favorably after deductions such as depreciation.

States like New Jersey and New York highly favor the tenant and evictions are very difficult and can take months.  

The initial plan is a 1200 sf build out with plans to expand back away from the cliff later as finances and interest rates are more favorable.

Odd's would be far mor ein your favor if you just bought lotto tickets. 

If you’re using a car for business, log your mileage or depreciate the car; whichever method is favorable to you.
