@James Harryton I have been filling up a building with high quality grade materials and amenities.

Also come from the construction industry on the material manufacturer side.

I would definitely accept a $3,000 quote to paint my whole interior, especially if that included the cost of materials.

I don't know what they are about, but what do they purport to teach you about Section 8 not easily disseminated from online material already available?

As you do this more often, you'll be able to keep a spreadsheet of per square foot prices for materials and labor to get things done and you'll be able to estimate this yourself.

As an investment property owner, this means less maintenance and fewer unexpected expenses from storm related damage, often resulting in more affordable insurance premiums, less wear & tear on mechanical equipment, roofing materials or exterior surfaces.

To qualify, taxpayers must meet specific criteria demonstrating that they are real estate professionals who materially participate in their rental activities.How to Navigate the Rules:Step 1: Identify your real property trades or businessesHere is a list of activities that are considered to be a real property trade or business:RedevelopmentLeasingConversionConstructionReal property developmentReconstructionOperationRentalBrokerageManagementAcquisitionIf you participate in multiple of these activities, you may be able to combine them making it easier to meet the material participation hour requirements.Step 2: Demonstrate material participation in real property trades or businessesThere are seven tests to determine if you demonstrate material participation.

My brokerage would employ data-driven pricing guidance (hard to see how this would be materially different from MLS comp sheets; perhaps more accurate).

Curious to hear the system you'd recommend for tracking material participation?    

When you read that material and you have a question, it will then be a specific question that can be answered.
