What's up rockstars! Millennial leasing agent here and I’ve been managing my properties social media for 3 years now. No one else in my office wants to do the marketing, but it's my job as the Business Manager to driv...

We wouldn't use it the field because of legality issues with claims they make, we use something a little much more concentrated, but it's great solution for someone who's trying to DIY it.Tests can be great to minimize the what IFs people have and to get a tenant to stop bothering you about it, we have worked with a number of landlords in the past just giving them information so their tenant had some piece of mind.

A 10-foot-wide house was built 'out of spite' on a leftover piece of land in Florida and is selling for $619,000.

I would prefer to self manage to avoid the high poperty management fees (I think its around 10% + 1 month leasing fee, etc.) and I also worry that the property manager will likely not be as dilligent in finding high quality affordable vendors, etc.I see 4 major pieces of work1) Tenant finding: I feel comfortable doing this remotely.

Schedule E the piece the IRS put out about moving rental from Schedule E to Schedule C was because someone provided services above and beyond what would occur at a typical rental so they treated it like a hotel.

So far, we've pieced along different elements of this (different tax person each year, no LLC to one to now 2 this year, haven't yet used a bookkeeper...)trying to streamline systems and have a solid foundation for our fairly new and growing real estate portfolio. 

I do want to go ahead and refinance and pull that $100k plus to buy another piece of real estate and continue cash flowing for now.

The problem is taking them collectively results in new problems for our lot...the three solutions work when you look at just one of our shared lines, but when you look at all three the math falls apart...my surveyor will have to take their collective work, his new field investigation and then apply his own good theories, and hopefully our property is the missing piece in the puzzle for how to resolve this.I share that because those three surveyors are all names I or my boss know, and do good work.

They "forgot" to add my W-2 into my 2018 taxes because my husband and I had started a business and they just concentrated on that piece.  

There may be some carveouts related to moving from non depreciable property to depreciable property in certain circumstances that may not fall under this accounting method change, but it has been some time since I have had to deal with that piece.
