tougher than advertised. there is lots of competition for deals; good contractors are booked up; materials are expensive; and interest rates are high.

Zillow is especially good for advertising, creating listings, etc. but there are other platforms that focus more on rent collection or accounting and financial tracking.

Thank youStaton As long as it was advertised and available to rent you can deduct it.The only exception is if you had personal use above 14 days in that year.

I only access their websites via my phone. 

@Jason L. start advertising NOW to gauge interest.

They also give you access to physical office space if needed.Mailbox services like UPS Store and Pak Mail offer mailbox services with a real street address.

Hey @Adriana McLaughlin - This is actually the FIRST TIME I have heard of the term "ALL-IN-ONE-FIRST-LIEN", but after doing a little bit of reading on it I am not sure I still completely understand.Basically, you apply for a HELOC credit payoff your existing mortgage with this variable HELOC and then in theory have some leftover as well...so the advantage is paying off your loan early and getting access to a line of credit, but the disadvantage would be a variable rate mortgage for the reminder due on your orginal first mortgage? 

Most of the lots aren't advertised for sale, but you can use the GIS system and other resources to find and contact the owners.

Much more access to the beach and larger cities like St.
