If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

It's similar to how you report it for tax purposes in years where you aren't selling it, you report 50% (or whatever % is allocable to each side) as rental property and depreciate that 50% while the other 50% is your own personal residence and therefore is not part of Schedule E.

and brand new out of state investors are going to miss.just trying to be frank with you. 

Just whatever makes $en$e for you.
