Dallas has to be meetup central.Two I like are NTAREI that normally meets on Thursdays maybe 1-2 times a month. 

For last three years I had good occupancy, now seeing a slowdown - not sure if it is a market shift or just normalizing from the Pandemic.

The priority is consistent recommendations from active investors.

One CPA is telling us that we need to file a partnership return for all LLCs and the other CPA is telling us that we can place all properties on our Schedule E and use Schedule C for our property management activities We like the Schedule E and C approach because it's cheaper.

Now, I'm imaging a scenario when every one of these tenants move out that I'll be paying their entire security deposit + interest even if there are damages beyond normal wear and tear. 

The issue with section 179 expense is that you normally have to operate at positive income.Under most circumstances, bonus depreciation is better since you can take bonus depreciation even if you operate at negative income. 

SOLD comps vs ACTIVE is very important.

I’m actively seeking to purchase either a multi-family or duplex unit in the Columbus area  for a medium rehab project. 

Pay for your own painting and make them pay normal rent.

At it's basic level:Assumption: Asking the bank to turn the loan over to you and going through the normal underwriting process, credit, income, DTI ratio etc SubTo: Taking over the loan without telling the bank, no underwriting, no credit check, no income verificationBoth have risks, but it's not my intent to be detailed in this post.
