Recently upgraded to pro account and tried using the "find deal" tool.

This all comes down to how you're structured, how the flip cost were accounted for, if there is a partner (you mentioned "we").If it is an S Corporation and you "distribute" or "sell" the property to yourself, if there is any loss on value, which probably there isn't, know it most likely won't be deductible if it's a related party transaction.  

This seems to be a result of some smart accounting moves on my part, thanks to an investor-savvy accountant.

If you need a reliable roofing contact, let me know—I’d be happy to recommend someone.Your agent should have negotiated a clear possession date that accounts for the seller needing extra time to move.

(Meanwhile I had to pay a "rent" that went into an account for major repairs) Me wanting a nice house to raise my children put a LOT of my own money in for cosmetic repairs and the house is now worth more than double the original purchase price. $219k - now $500k market price in very southern Maine/NH border.

., I definitely agree with the accounting piece, what are you thought on the legalities side of this.

When I go to Tools/Pro Partners/Home Depot and click on "Activate Perks" it has me sign in to my Home Depot account.

I’ve worked with tons of investors in Phoenix and Austin for the last 20 years, and I can tell you firsthand that there are no shortcuts.

My advice is: If you are managing from a distance, you need someone with a high level of accountability and close proximity to care for your assets.  

Our model is basically 2 people to a room, each individual pays $175 a week, each house has a manager (who lives free of charge)that handles intakes, discharges, accountability, checking chores and collecting the rent.
