Is that process too complicated, yes, but there is nothing in this decision that will prevent a tax sale purchaser in MD from reselling at a profit after obtaining the property by foreclosing the right of redemption.

Moreover, it allows you to set the terms of the lease agreement according to your preferences, which can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes in the future. 

If you do end up segregating, keep good records to prevent having to recapture the depreciation of the reclassified assets.

That could possibly be preventing traffic.

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

@Bill B. yes a good AI platform will keep a DNC list and or scrub for DNC and prevent communication from happening in the future. 

My crime prevention class was canceled and I’m looking for an update on the rescheduled date.

However, normal wear and tear (like some dust or minor carpet stains) shouldn’t count.It’s always a good idea to take photos and keep a record of the condition before the tenant moves in and after they move out.

The best thing you can do to prevent future foundation issues is installing gutters around the property to repel away from the foundation.

This may be to deliberately prevent discovery of other electrical issues or prevent fire/injury.You will need some form of hard money or construction financing to purchase the property as is, and you will need to get the property occupant-ready to pass an appraisal before permanent financing is on the table.
