I have some of Frank's materials from his billboard business days.

If anything there's better control over what material and infromation is being transmitted if the property were to be listed. 

yeah as title. i have a mortgage on my own house. recently a 4plex on fb caught my eye. theyre listing for 300k, new construction, on i think 1/2 acre or 1 acre mostly seems a big dirt parking lot in front. 1800sq ft. they claim the units rent for 1050. obviously these are small units 1 bed 1 bath, doing the math 1800/4 is 450 sq ft per unit. they look nice, being new construction, albeit spartan inside, metal building, concrete floors, washer dryer hookup. semi rural Oklahoma but about 80-100 miles from dfw. they also say all units are under 6 month lease (it seems to be friends of theirs, i'm guessing, as they mentioned it was full "despite not even listing it yet"?)

You will need to know all the minute facts about real estate transactions to avoid litigation.Buyers or sellers may rely on your advice and guidance, but there is a potential for lawsuits if you make an error or omission like delaying or canceling a sale or failure to disclose a material fact.

There are obviously less considerations in a vacant land transaction than that with an improved parcel of land, but you still need to ensure that the material terms/conditions reflect your wishes. 

All you would need to say really is that you materially participated in the business during the tax year and just be prepared in the case of an audit/IRS notice.

If I am the only one materially participating in STR, can we deduct STR depreciation from my spouse's income if we file taxes jointly?

All appliances (washer dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove), paint thru the unitDo you think it's doable for under 15k for labor, material, appliances?  

The builder construction cost for materials has increased by 33% from June 2023 to January/February 2024?

We do everything in house and buy a majority of our materials at auctions that sell lowes/Home Depot returns.
