This is California for you, cut throat.Lastly, we have no copy of the loan contract and all we have is the paperwork from the Elite Home Energy ( work order and notice of cancellation).

I run comps a lot, and was noticing how values haven't changed much since late '22 to today. 

Glad this post of yours was restored Patricia, i like the topic, thanks for posting.My rates have always fluctuated too however it hasn't hurt my ranking with VRBO.Personally, i noticed for my listing, the ranking improved once i achieved greater than 50+ reviews and once my listing matured (listing age greater then 4 yrs).

I noted the year-over-year increase in STR permits, the decrease in average nightly revenue, and the sentiment that economically-incentivized sellers would flood the market after this winter season (effectively increasing housing supply and decreasing prices).

Withold rent, get served an eviction notice. 

(assuming the cash flow is higher than PITI).My second question is if I acquired a duplex via seller financing, would that also decrease my DTI?

So I am looking at this as a way to decrease my federal income tax if I lose FEIE.

In fact I have a clause in my leases that if I find out anyone is doing so it will immediately terminate their right to remain in the lease and they will be served notice. 

We had tenants renting for 4yrs, when we got to the property after they moved out we noticed a large oil-stain in the driveway as well as various other smaller oil stains in the driveway.

Hellen  Keller may have not noticed however I certainly could with just a cursory review of the property. they don’t actually know the extent of the roof however note possible deficiencies.
