Several years prior to Covid I got my finances in order to start investing.

I need to know how to do a "Rent to Own" properly as part of the strategy for this unit. 

I have created a lot of loss in my taxes over the last few years and now want to get a mortgage for a new primary home.

I am trying to invest in a certain market and I am curious as to how many realtors i should be reaching out to and trying to establish relationships in that particular area.

Quote from @Michael Overall:I understand the utilities will go to basis, on the interest is it able to be yearly deducted based off the conversation you referenced if using form 4952According to one of my colleagues on that thread - yes.According to court - no.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Why do you want to buy 2 rentals a year?

although we bought about 6 years ago or so for 270 put 100k into it so you can do the math  no debt .. hoa 400  we pay utls. 200 or so.. so 600 a month out of the 3500.. tax's about 1500 a year ( got to love Vegas taxs ) value today right at 600k.. so lets say we net about 33k a year on 370k cash .. so not bad little under 10% COC with an outstanding tenant one of the best I have ever had.PS given tenant quality we manage ourselves.. 

Seeking insight from the community on converting a STR (primarily Airbnb) to long-term rental.

If Person A had any claim to the deposit, it would have been right after they left, which apparently was over a year ago.Your agreement is with Person B and that's who you would return the deposit to.
