The first property is a condo, and my wife and I own 90% of it, and my brother-in-law owns 10%.

I want to build a legacy for my family and have the ability to take care of my parents and in-laws in the future.

How are landlords in SF handling the security deposit law that requires them to pay interest to residents on their deposits?

I'm not 100% sure on the law, but I know that if you don't clean a dryer vent it's possible to become a fire hazard in time.

Maybe add on Booking.com but after that it's the law of diminishing returns - lots of work/time for just a guest or two.If you are self managing I would limit the amount of platforms to the top few because it could get overwhelming tracking the property on all the various sites because they all work a little bit differently.

The most important is having a CPA understanding the tax laws on where you are a resident of.That will have the most implications.

@Thomas S.Setting standard to violate laws is illegal.

While you may get a 199A deduction, you are paying a high tax rate.If we are talking about REIT's listed on an exchange, there are additional overhead costs as you mentioned - You have to get audited financial statements and also comply with certain SEC laws.

Hi Dina,Buying your in-laws' home is a smart way to prevent a reverse mortgage and provide support for their care.
