- attracting the wrong type of tenants or actually capturing those with decent credit looking for a deal?

Currently, I'm looking for a way to send someone to capture exterior photos of potential investment properties.While Uber allows you to hail a driver, it's designed for single rides.

Not a cpa, not a lawyer, just a reader....TBS.I’m pretty sure you’re generalizing at least a couple ideas...The best you’re going to do is tax free on the side you lived in, if it’s under $250k or $500k if married, you’re going to owe capital gains tax and depreciation capture on the rental side regardless  You have to have lived there as your primary FIRST, if it was a rental first, you’re going to owe capital gains and DR on the percent of time the half you lived in was a rental, and 100% of the other unit.

Rent comp data is not as easy for the appraisers to capture as sales comp data is so they often make errors on this.When I run into this issue with my clients I ask them to send me 3-4 rent comps in the area to dispute.  

It's a zero expense way to get into the industry and you can capture 15-25% of the booking of revenue without leveraging close to $1M.

We always build less square feet so we can capture the highest price per square foot. you can't control your market economics so building and designing and constructing around them is good. 200 sq ft less might be a huge pool or another amenity.

In the longer run if it doesn't make a great rental it likely will make a great home and you'll capture that through equity/appreciation. 

I'm in a different position in life where cash flow is not as important that equity capture.

If you must, get video because with video someone can slowly pan across and capture almost every surface.
