We syndicate to 50 different rental websites, some key websites that are missing in my opinion are: Realtor.com - Another solid option for reaching renters.Trulia - Similar to Zillow, with good visibility.HotPads - Focused on rentals and popular among renters.I recommend looking into the MLS syndication if you aren't using a third party that automatically syndicates the listings.

No, it is not automatic!! 

A lot of leases include language about the lease automatically renewing if no written notice is given.

However, this is a difficult qualification to meet, especially if you have a full-time job outside of real estate.Don’t worry if you aren’t able to qualify for REPS status, because there is another strategy that is referred to as a “loophole”, which is the STR strategy.Per Section 1.469-1T(e)(3)(ii)(A): there are six exceptions where your rental property income is not automatically considered to be “rental activity” and thus may unlock the door for being able to offset these losses against your active income.The average customer use is seven days or less.The average customer use is 30 days or less and significant personal services were provided (for example, daily housekeeping).Extraordinary personal services are provided, regardless of the duration of customer use.The rental is incidental to a non-rental activity.The property is available during defined business hours for non-exclusive use by various customers.The property is used in an activity conducted by an S Corporation, partnership or joint venture in which the taxpayer holds an interest.If your property qualifies by meeting one of the exceptions above, the next step is to demonstrate material participation in the rental activity.

This question has come up a few times with prospective clients recently, so I thought I'd shed some light on it.Generally, being an employee in a real estate business does not automatically qualify you for REPS unless you own at least 5% of the employer.

Two months out from end of the yearly lease I reach out to the tenants Rep and tell them what I think the lease should be moved up to (go off FMR) and they approve or deny (always approve so far because I am realistic) an automatically increase it at the one year mark

New Garage door on detached 2 car garage.My mortgage company is Citizens Bank and from looking at their rules for PMI cancelation(per google AI) they are:"Citizens Bank will automatically cancel private mortgage insurance (PMI) when your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio reaches 78%.

Will this change automatically happen or do I need to do anything?
