The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

You’ll see flashy cars, endless vacations, or Instagram-worthy moments, all promising that this lifestyle is within reach.When the lifestyle becomes harder to sell, it’s time to focus on the message.

You filed two full year tax cycles and the numbers are similar (no greater variant than 1%) they maybe yes.Generally depreciation is added back as income BUT only the 40% portion you own not all of it.

The challenge is that non-government jobs are often short-lived.

The other thing to think about is the length of time you've owned the property.

Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

I plan to consult a tax professional but before wasting anyone's time I would like to ask whether I can technically claim the property as a rental in 2024 even though our first contract started Jan. 1, 2025?

They are worth the money for a good hot tub that is mentioned all the time in reviews and doesn't have a ton of issues.

Thank you for your time and patience!

It's time to start the process as everyone else mentioned above.
