When you get the screening on a tenant see if the low credit score reflects a life event, such as divorce, health problems, etc or if it is the way the tenant lives, not being responsible for his/her obligations.

However, in the event an owner has to be the GC of the project, don't pay a day rate to subs.

The area where I dont have detailed time logs is prospecting / relationship building for my real estate business which is 100% SOI, Social media posts/stories, attending social events, networking events, friend/family events, etc.Side note...we have no kids so time to do both jobs is abundantly available.

I would advise you to consult with your tax professional to see if you may be able to use some planning strategies to help you best take advantage of the deduction in 2024/25 in the event it isn't renewed by the next congress.

I would recommend buying new properties in single purpose LLCs - if you transfer them now you would trigger a transfer tax event unless you put them into a land trust. 

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house. 

Even changing entitlements is generally not seen as an event that negates your intent to hold for investment.

Ohio markets show up 3 times in Zillows 2024 hottest markets, with Columbus and Cincinnati taking the 2 and 3 spots. 

Typically, this would be lenders or mortgagees so that they are notified in the event there is a lapse in coverage or a non-renewal.
