I felt like these reps were just looking for a commission.

You do need to be REP or have STR to use the losses from rentals to save your taxes.Since you started renting your single-family home in 2021 and just bought a duplex in 2024, you can use depreciation to reduce your taxable income.

Don't miss out on the tax-saving opportunities you have from property using this with a REPS or STR strategy.On the other hand, paying cash for a couple of mobile homes is a more straightforward option.

I have now sent 3 or 4 emails to my rep with no answers, and then sent a message to their main email address a week ago, and still haven't heard from anyone.

You qualify as REPS already, so any rental investment can wipe out your taxes.

Just for kicks, i looked up a few sf properties sold last year and see that land ranged from 40% to 60% so without knowing your property specifics, dunno why your land would be assessed 70%all i can suggest is look at comparable sales and see what the ratio is and then appeal using that dataalso i remember many years ago, a home was assessed higher than the transaction amount and after failing to reach agreement with assessor office, the homeowner reached out to the different elected city reps.

Minneapolis is one of the EASIEST if your doing things legit and willing to earn your rep as being legit. 

I have relationships with several builders reps that I get lists of homes with incentives and sometimes builder models that come up for sale or cancelled contracts which gives me a slight advantage over others that are just searching MLS.

The rep said only Kohler can install their products and they do nothing else which means she is on her own to find another contractor to finish the remodel.

The process went fast online, and I was contacted right after through SMS and phone by an accommodating and polite rep.
