I am getting ready to start my first spec home build.

I went through the same dilemma when I started investing a few years ago.

Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.

It would be wise to rectify it before transfer of title so your starting off clean and hopefully won't have any issues when you go to sell down the road. 

And start the two year clock ticking again. 

It's not just the taxes, but being able to at-a-glance look at expenses by the month and year, profit and loss calculating automatically, and even cash flow by property and total portfolio by month and year.Thanks for suggesting it!

We just started using Rent Redi at the beginning of the year. 

Keep in mind the PPSF is the total value, which is land and structure.

It's all about starting smart and scaling up! 

I'm starting out doing redeemable tax deeds and going to auctions where everybody has "bigger pockets" than I do.
