Again, I haven't purchased or used their products so I am not able to speak on that but what I can speak on is their character and I can truly say that I see them as being stand up guys who are passionate about what they do and open to sharing the information without all the fluff and BS.

So boils down to Character  And with Brian you have that in spades.

Meeting potential tenants in person can give you a better sense of their character and reliability.

Quote from @Mann Phan: @Jimmy Lieu I did, but you are right I scaled too quickly, I guess I can attribute that to sitting on the bench trying to do as much "research" (2 years) as I could then I went all in.

He spoke extremely highly of David's character.

Tampa has a lot of draws, to name a few is Beach, Boating, Golf, Casino, Intl Airport/Biz Travel, Busch Gardens, NFL/NHL/MLB, Concerts/Festivals, and more.I would say Sarasota is a submarket of Tampa but has its own attributes as well. 

There definitely appeared to be installer issues that I might attribute to the franchisee, but they were trained by the company.I've had torch down rubber roofs for 10 years and repairs to them are fine.

@Michael Plaks is spot on - character wise, 1099-R income falls in the same "bucket" as a W-2 wage would be, thus to offset this income with real estate losses, it follows the exact same pathway (ST rental with material participation or REP status with traditional rentals), but since you don't have all your time sucked up with a W-2 job, you have much greater flexibility to hit those related hours thresholds under those paths as well.No idea if he's taking clients - but if you are looking for local(ish) and qualified in TX, Michael is also likely a great one to reach out to.
