The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

In return, they will be motivated to get a job and pay back every dime owed while lavishing you with praise.

Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.

This leaves here with almost $500k in capital gains to pay tax on.I'm trying to find creative ways in which she can minimize this tax burden. 

A longer timeline will make paying the extra 2% now more attractive.

People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

Not sure if I have to pay for the more advanced features for it to work better but want to get other thoughts before I start syncing data and have to turn back.Thanks!

Bottom line: the tenant doesn't get to decide how to pay you.

Most people really don't understand this fact (myself include prior to moving here) and it can trip you up if you don't have reliable "boots on the ground" or a thorough understanding of neighborhoods and blocks.

Also, make sure you have a great property management company who can be your "boots on the ground".
