Okay I also purchased on audible and would like to see the bonus material.I have a question as well, though.

You can see the law firm who represented us and the price we pay the attorney.

This could potentially lead to complications such as frozen funds when mechanics liens are searched and they see the 2nd lien.

See the source here:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employ...Therefore, if your property management company manages 401k-owned property, it would be breaking two IRS rules: - Furnishing services to the plan- Receiving personal benefit (compensation) 

I think we saw the real bottom in SF in Q4 22, and we have yet to see the bottom in STR markets.

-Has no crawlspace (common for older properties) so we couldn't see the foundation-Drywood termite/wood decaying fungi damage seen on all the windows/doors/parts of the beam on the exterior, parts of roof decking and rafters in the attic-Old leaks/moisture damage seen in the ceilings and attic-Parts of the roof has patch work-Roof doesn't have any permits on record (don't know how old it is)Seller's offer to me:-Fumigation treatment for drywood termites (tenting the house)-Replace and repair all damage wood throughout the house-Replace the entire roof with a new permit-Replace one window in every room (not all)-Pay for a structural engineer to inspect the foundation-Offer to get quotes for repairs and have a 15-20K budget to make all repairs, house is 500K.

I see the IRS regs about rental activities being defined as passive, but I don't see anything about a lower rate.I just see that this "passive activity" distinction subjects us to "passive activity loss rules", which limit our ability to offset other types of income with net passive losses.But even that limitation is negated for us because we fall into the "active participation" exception, so we can offset our regular earned taxable income dollar-for-dollar with losses from our rental (if I understand the regs correctly).

But generally lenders want to see the renovations outlined, costs, materials used, and specific descriptions (for example : install hardwood flooring for all bedrooms and living rooms). 

I have been around the RE block a bit and I am starting to see the same thing.

I don't believe we will see the price jumps going further.
