The IRS doesn't care which of you is on title.

The house has needed some work done which the PM handled.

If you are buying good properties you shouldn't ever need a property to carry another property.

Essentially though you need to go off-market.

What Do You Think?

Would you please be kind to share an emotional service animal addendum that you use @Nathan G. :) Thank you.

Thank you for your post.

If you expect to get every penny out of every deal you are going to be disappointed.

Research the options available, compare their benefits and risks, and decide which approach aligns best with your goals and preferences.House hacking is a great start.

@Sakib KhanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
