Sometimes I'll tell a serious story or a not so serious one. 

The new heat pump all in ones (120 instead of 240 and don’t need venting) are much better than the older all in ones.

It all depends on the work you/your clients want to do to create value and the overall game plan.

The number one factor in renting a property (assuming it has market competitive in finishes) is if it's priced appropriately. 

Quote from @William Hochstedler: Utah has been booming for the past decade by every metric. my kids did deposits on ski condos at Park City  NEW development and one at Brianhead and those things shot up like crazy.. they need to keep it up so they can take good care of me in my waining years.

They had previously been combined into one house.

I have another one for you. 

Thanks for the advice, I have read some books but not that one.

I know there are limits on how much you can deduct for each year but my guess is that you would be fine with only one rental.
