They will schedule an inspection to verify that the second bedroom does in fact exist in the apartment.I am not sure, I believe it’s because this apartment is only being rented by one person on the lease.  

That is my personal go to.

The question is mostly a personal financial planning question and it depends on your preference and what balance of risk and access you'd like and would be comfortable with.

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

Since you purchased your primary recently and in Houston, I personally am bearish on your appreciation potential.

If the management fees stay in Sch-E, it is exposed to ordinary income both at Federal and state level, which is way higher than SE taxes of 9.55% (15.75-6.2 (personal social tax already maxed out)).2.

Rentals are extremely difficult to make pencil right now but would only personally consider higher end projects because the costs are far easier to absorb than trying to build in lower value neighborhoods.

I personally own a property in Windsor Hills Resort, right next door to Disney World, and we absolutely love it.

So why is the $2,500mnth person paying $250 and the other one paying $350 ??????

Personally I think there are great opportunities in Dover, Somersworth and Rochester.
