The information you get from QBO, in my opinion, is insufficient to support sound decision making.

Your advice sounds practical, but it's really not. 

It sounds like you're off to a good start and I think putting together 2-3 rentals in Colorado by 2026 is certainly doable/attainable. 

Sounds like Im joking, but Im not. 

I know how this sounds, but here is the deal. 

I posted here because it all sounds fine and dandy if that's how it all works, but I would imagine there must be more nuance to it that I am not taking into consideration. 

The "sneaky duplex" phrase sounds to me just like "sneaky tax evasion" - it's great to get something illegally until you are caught.The screaming obvious action for you here is to call your town and ask about the property.

Your agent doesn't sound very bright.

If it’s not penciling out doing it with professionals, this sounds like a deal you may not want to do. 

I own a 20-acre campground with 13 log cabins, 10 RV spaces, 2 bell tents, primitive campsites, and a store.
