I also make sure to specify in the lease agreement that I need proof of coverage before move-in and that the policy should name me as an “additional interested party.”

Is there a way to access the additional features without creating a new Stessa account through the BiggerPockets link? 

We're based in Tampa and, in addition to personally investing, I own a mortgage company that provides financing for tons of investors.

In addition, the gas bills have shut off notices and are not being paid. (3 units are occupied and utilities are all paid by owner).

Recapture typically happens only when you sell the property.If you use the property partly for personal use and partly as a rental in a given year, depreciation and other expenses must be prorated based on the number of days it was rented versus personal useBased on the current tax laws and regulations, once you've taken bonus depreciation on an asset, you cannot "capture" additional bonus depreciation on that same asset in future years, even if the rates increase.In the 2024 tax year, the rate for bonus depreciation is 60%.

You might be surprised, but your rental properties have more in common with dividend-paying stocks than you think!

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

You pay your agent at closing (think of it as an additional closing cost) Depending of the situation and of these options can be used by you and your agent to negotiate with the seller.

You should always require them to add you to their policy as "additional insured" or "additional interest" and you will be notified if they cancel or change their policy.
