Hey everyone,I’m looking to level up the welcome basket I provide for guests.

Ken, You're changing the subject to something neither of us ever discussed.The only thing you claimed was that having no-debt on a SFR property makes no sense, because of your theory that the government is going to be massively raising taxes on property owners to "oppressive" levels.

It is standard practice and component level depreciation is encouraged by the IRS.Though it is very important to track you time as you go along.

Quote from @Ashley Kehr: There are a ton out there, but if you are starting out to mid level I like buildium.

If I leave this amount in Sch-E, I get taxed at ordinary income tax rate at Federal and State level, which along with my regular W2 income can be substantial.

Quote from @Don Miller: The below timeline is not to express any level of happiness or unhappiness. 

While the image of yours I found seem to show the main entry to the 2nd floor at ground level, the older the prospective tenant, the less interested they are in a non-ground floor unit. 2) Using another part of the property as storage could limit interest and I could see that as a turn off with folks once they find this out.FYI, the listing I found on realtor.com makes no mention of the tenant not having access the entire property or the basement being used as storage.

Either way, after five years, I can say I achieved a certain level of passive income—just not the kind that puts cash in my pocket. 

Your ability to connect with them on a personal level matters more than your offer.Think about it:  • The “Used Car Salesman” is only focused on closing the deal as fast as possible.

I would anticipate it would depend on the level of detail you desired but it has been my experience that the will do free estimates.
