With your current situation I think technically since the washer/dryer never worked if you did not advertise a washer dryer or tell them they would have them you don’t have to repair or replace them.

Joseph, Mo area, but technically in Kansas. 

When you hire a buyers agent typically you will technically agree to paying them.

You are not required to live in the property for a year but if you knew from the get go that it was not going to happen then you are technically committing fraud.

Technically, isn't general life kind of a pyramid scheme in itself?

If it matters, I travel most of the time for work but technically split my time between Orange County, CA and Denver. 

If you have a mortgage on it, you can still do the quit claim but just know that you are opening your self up for your lender to exercise due on sale clause even though it is technically not a sale.

After the tenant moved out, the property underwent major renovations, and the plan is to put the property back up for rent in the next few weeks.My question is, as part of the BARRR strategy (buy, advertise, rehab, rent, refinance), since the house was already technically rented out, can I deduct all rehab expenses even if I didn't re-advertise the property as available for rent?

Technically speaking, you only need to issue 1099s for the business portion, but I would not dive that deep into technicalities and issue 1099s for the entire amounts.

With 100 or more units, you can consider using a 3rd party property management company to run the staffing, leasing, etc...and you can manage them as asset manager.
