@Thomas Loyola My stuff is probably B- class if you take into consideration the actual criteria for classes.

Donate the Property: Donating the property to a qualified charitable organization can provide you with a charitable deduction equal to the property’s fair market value and eliminate capital gains taxes.Implementing these strategies requires careful planning and consideration of your specific financial situation.

Don’t forget to take into account utilities including internet, lawn maintenance, snow removal, etc. into consideration.

As @Lucas Martinez mentioned, FMV rents in Santa Barbara have exploded, I'm trying to be considerate of my tenants while also exploring a path to adding value to the investment--which I know probably falls into the oxymoron category.

Experience, licensing, etc are all things lender will take into consideration when evaluating a deal and the more you can show the lender the more comfortable they will be and can often result in more competitive terms, etc

Think about that James, when we look at the data, what the market is voting on with there $, the LAST consideration is price, the vary last........ 

Section 8 Considerations: Opting for Section 8 tenants can be a stable source of income, as a portion of the rent is guaranteed by the government.

I generally categorize my house hack clients into two strategies/considerations.

If they do complete them, it's probably very basic, not taking what your contractor is now advising you into consideration.

If you're dealing with an early 1900s home this should be a serious consideration in addition to the above.For the rest of the scope, the same rule applies.
