The squeaky wheel wins in development so I'd recommend you staying on all communication with the city so that you can see the communication and push as the owner.

I have a few rentals with section 8 tenants, and they tend to stay on average 4-5 years.

Since the original mortgage stays in place, you only need to ensure the reinvestment equals or exceeds the proceeds.

For BRRRR i would stay away from New Western.

A short-term rental with a stay of 7 days or less + Material participation =also non passive.

Last year we began testing different places by staying in Carrillo and Junquillal with day trips to a lot of other nearby beaches. 

Hey Deirdre,To address your questions:Providing freedom by handling day-to-day operations.Offering peace of mind through proactive maintenance and tenant communication.Reducing risks by staying ahead of legal requirements, tenant screening, and dispute resolution.Enhancing the bottom line by identifying cost-saving opportunities while ensuring tenant satisfaction to reduce turnover.Is the experience still important when the property thrives financially?

Of course they complained, and I said that I would replace with a gas hot water boiler and a seperate gas hot water heat, so they would stay. 

For me once I've identified the target market/ideal guest, my rule of thumb is if enhances their stay/they'd pay extra for it splurge.

Option D: you are considered a "disqualified person" to your IRA and as such are prohibited from engaging in any transaction in an IRA or receiving any benefits from the IRA (directly or indirectly), therefore I strongly suggest you avoid this option if you wish to stay out of trouble.
