Hello everyone, I've been buying and rehabbing properties for long term rentals for going on 8 years now, I enjoy buying properties, designing them, and seeing the end product. 

Just saw this on the local news this morning.Nothing changed yet, but maybe soon.https://louisvilleky.gov/government/planning-design/middle-h...

Congrats - beautiful design

Miami's real estate isn't just about buying and selling; it's about driving economic growth and fostering prosperity for all who call this vibrant city home.Time to Act: With the median time to contract plummeting by 17.9% and the median time to sales dropping by 5.9%, urgency fills the air as buyers and sellers engage in a thrilling dance of negotiation and decision-making.

I'm not one to plug my business and there is enough good, bad and ugly online for all to see.You will find many "real world" reviews on both Ohio Cashflow and Oz Realty via a Google search.Not perfect by any means and we make mistakes.Honest mistakes that we do our best to rectify.Standing the test of time in a real estate niche called turnkey that has been scared by many shady operators speaks for itself IMO.I will say this, investors buying sub $100,000 properties and only owning 1 or 2 and expecting miracles are usually unsatisfied.Sub $100,000 requires volume to work and for a decent long term return to be realized.Our price points are $70,000 - $100,000 and rent's are from $750 - $1,100pm2bed, 1bath and 3 bed, 1 bath is our bread and butter.Sometimes 4 bed, 1 bath and rarely 4 bed, 2 bath or 3 bed, 2 bath.The odd duplex from time to time and the odd 4 unit or 6 unit but those are rare.B class areas mostly.Sometimes B- and C class on occasion which we will stress clearly in any deal pro-forma along with the pro's and con's.Also, those that get their panties in a tangle and decide to leave the wing of Ohio Cashflow, we can't help much anymore as it get's messy and muddy so we have to politely bow out from any continued engagement. 

“Architects design buildings that kill people; engineers design buildings that make people want to kill themselves.”

While it may seem counterintuitive, having a specific tenant in mind when designing and marketing the proeprty is very important.

From the IRS Regulations 1.162-2 which is the actual law:-----(b)(1) If a taxpayer travels to a destination and while at such destination engages in both business and personal activities, traveling expenses to and from such destination are deductible only if the trip is related primarily to the taxpayer's trade or business.

Yes, it's generally advisable to switch your home insurance policy to one specifically designed for rental properties once you convert your househack into a full rental property. 

You'd most likely have to look for a commercial unit, which would be more likely to have the card reading accessories you're talking about + they can keep up with the constant use, which residential units aren't designed for.
