So, when Trump changes to no tax on tips I feel inclined to change my rental income structure.50% reduction in rent.Previous 50% made up from a mandatory nontaxable tip. 

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

I’m still getting a feel for this platform and starting to adapt to the newer ways of networking and marketing.

Carl, Sorry to hear about this.. especially while you're away I'm sure is not a good feeling. 

I’ve never asked anyone to “be my mentor”, but I feel like I have several now, because I just showed up, created friends, and asked questions. 

@NA Bruny-fils Absolutely, feel free to DM me your email so I can send you the details and you will get notified of future events.

Feel fortunate that you didn't overpay in any significant way for the work this plumber did do. 

Thats got to be such a liberating feeling. 

Quote from @Paul Azad: Beautiful property Blake, and great growing area, i drove through a few years ago, amazing scenerey and perrenial vacation spot, would you feel comfortable sharing the structure of the syndication for the investors, fees, projected IRR, or time weighted avg returns etc from a potential passive investor perspective?

I could put a down payment for a conventional (20-25%) 550k duplex, but I feel it could hurt my chances of buying as many duplexes in a 5 year period (for example) if I go conventional VS an FHA at 3.5%.
