Technically it’s not an investment property which is why I’m able to get financing and the seller doesn’t have the money to sue me, but I didn’t foresee backing out of it because of the location and the profits from AirBnBing it. 3.

I wasn't actually aware I would need to create a separate management company to manage my rental company in order to have earned income (ie salary)Now in your opinion would it better to go the full passive income route (even with me self-managing) and for myself be technically "unemployed" forever. or to split it and give myself a salary apart from the LLC. tax, retirement implications?

So a seller could lose big time if you cite some technicality and wiggle out of your putative escalated offer.I can easily see a seller refusing a bid on just the existence of an auto-escalation clause alone.

@Rian Ash technically your loan would qualify as a rate and term refinance which means that seasoning and delayed financing don’t really come into play...

It doesn't technically need to, it's a hazard to other tenants, and it's space outside the rented area, I would assume, but expressly prohibiting in the lease would be useful. 

They are technically already in the system as they submit payments directly to us, but we do not like the way the property management company is working; and this is our second one. 

Technically our expenses aren’t completely covered, but we end up spending less than we would on a 2 week rental that we would have anyway.In 28 years now (hopefully sooner with other investments), the property will be paid off and our vacation cost will have gone down significantly.

So technically she owes $50, but I'm guessing if she's going to battle me for the SD than I probably shouldn't expect that $50 on time either.

We want to tap into the equity of house B since it's technically paid for.

There won’t be any tax implications because as a military member you don’t technically live in Japan.
