Hi, I'm Gerardo (G), a licensed real estate professional passionate about investing and property development.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am also a real estate professional and I use DIY cost seg to do algorithm based cost seg studies.

However, if you or your spouse can meet the Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) requirements by working over your w2 hours in real estate and materially participating, the rental losses could offset your active income.

I assumed neither he or his dad were experienced STR hosts and said they wanted passive income. 

They did not communicate the scope well to the plumber, who it sounds like should not have been involved in the first place I would have a point-blank conversation about the above with your manager and ask who he or she thinks should cover the waste of paying multiple professionals to shuffle a thin plastic piece underneath an appliance the tenant was responsible for installing in the first place.

Just to clarify my previous post, I would like to say that while I've experienced challenges with mngt, RTR/Rent to Retirement has been extremely helpful in navigating this situation so I know what my options are and so I don't feel alone in this process.

Research the market, use data analysis tools, build a team with experienced professionals, and practice deal analysis.

I am pretty experienced with S8 procedures, all of that experience is with our Toledo LMH team.Are you leasing with a property manager in town?
