Not sure if they have upgraded to desktop appraisals but if they are still doing in person appraisals , make sure you get everything (scope of work, good faith deposit, social, LLC docs, insurance, proof of prior experience, financial statements) in ASAP.

I let the booking expire and figured it was a troll.I then get another request from the same person about a month later for the same dates.

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

The challenge was balancing the relationship between landlord/tenant and a personal/friendly relationship.

Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Quote from @James Wise: TikTok is supposed to be shut down in the U.S on 1.19.2025 unless the Supreme Court blocks or delays the U.S. ban per Trump's request.I won't pretend to have any idea how the inner workings of the data collection between China and the USA effect the world, but on a personally business not, I like it.

Any recommendations on Houston REI groups that meet in person or virtually?

I am personally very bullish on the Phoenix market.  

I am betting your gonna find a lot more friendly amicable persons than shut doors.
