@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

I don't need the whole pie.

Continue normal duties of rent collection.

The issue with section 179 expense is that you normally have to operate at positive income.Under most circumstances, bonus depreciation is better since you can take bonus depreciation even if you operate at negative income. 

Is it normal to pay anything upfront besides a down payment on Private Money Lender financing dealDoes this look legitimate to you guys https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WXAqllCuZVMjkv6HjqLmv-gw3bmwPqr2/view?

1.To extract equity in your property by re-mortgaging if you brought the property with a mortgage is normally not possible, it might be if you have extensive building improvements. 2.Getting a mortgage on a property you own 100% of is usually possible.

Feeling overwhelmed is totally normal—it means you're taking this seriously.

You'll then see that delinquency rates are:- At their lowest point since 2006- Historically on the low side of normal - On an overall downward trend for the past 4 yearsIn fact, excluding the artificially propped-up mortgage market of 2004-2006 during which delinquency rates were slightly lower than they are today, bottoming out at 1.41% in 2005, there are fewer mortgage delinquencies today than at any time in the past 33 years.By the way, when these scant 1.73% of homeowners become delinquent on their mortgages, they overwhelmingly have the equity to be able to sell the home at a gain if needed.

9) No tenant after 4 weeks: During Nov-Jan this is normal!

House hacking a 4 plex is a good plan, and you may even consider getting normal financing with 20% down - just have a little more patience to save more to have adequate reserves.
