@Steven Hamilton II hi Steven,Is this related to same topic or a seperate tax law to the 750 hour Real Estate Professional benefit (in my case something to consider for spouse in future) tnk you. https://www.claconnect.com/resources/articles/2019/irs-safe-harbor-on-section-199a-impacts-tax-filing-for-rental-real-estate

Hey Nichole - Check out this BP article that goes hand in hand with what you're reading.

Unfortunately no, I came across an article that states that Georgia doesn’t have a redemption period.  

This should: A) make the deals attractive enough to sell on their own; B) Should I end up being forced to buy it I will find myself in a good spot, with valuable property acquired at less than  it's wholesale value on the market.

These could be valuable for future investments while you have a good safety net of having a steady place to live. 

Partnering with Ron Rowan provided valuable local insights, making this an attractive and strategic investment for Partner Driven.

Would insights into real-time tenant behavior, preferences, and sentiment be valuable?

All valuable time.

Not sure why I put "local" but re-reading the same article I read a few weeks ago, it does change the way the IRS views the sale. i.e. it is no longer considered a "sale" but a gift.

Building a strong team, including a professional property management company, sounds crucial.Thanks again for your valuable suggestions!
