However, I don’t have a US-based W2 (but work full time for an American tech company in their London office). 

First house in 2021 - no internet to search at that time, remember going to realtor offices and seeing magazines and talking on phone with them about properties available and driving by them as there was no google street view.

It doesn't care if it's day or night, or whether you have low voltage task lighting or office lights.

Working with a good loan officer or mortgage broker can help you to get your file set up in a way that presents you in the best light to underwriters.

Just curious... what’s your ultimate goal for that office space..are you looking to boost resale value, or is it more about having a functional retreat above the garage?

The loan officer didn't care about the LLC, just said there would be additional papers to sign.

Organizational Delays: Section 8 offices are often overworked and understaffed, leading to slow processing times for new tenants, delayed rent increase approvals, and poor responsiveness.Benefits of Section 8:1.Long-Term Tenants: When you get a good tenant, they usually stay for a long time because of the tedious process required to qualify for Section 8 housing.2.Consistent Income: If Section 8 covers most or all of the rent, you typically receive reliable monthly payments, reducing the risk of non-payment (as long as there isn’t a large tenant portion).3.Lower Barrier to Entry: Because properties in these areas are often more affordable, it’s a good way for new investors to break into real estate without needing a large amount of capital.Overall, I’ve seen the good and the bad of this strategy.

Dumb question, but is asking a police officer to swing by just to assess if there is weed (quick smell test) be too much/a violation of anything/asking for trouble?

The Notice needs to be sent to each tenant by both proof of delivery required service from the post office as well as by certified mail to the last known address.

@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.
