But subsequent years of depreciation combined with mileage &/or auto expense deductions are quite good.

I'm also trying to figure out if there's anything else going on that might affect what they can afford to accept.I believe making an offer like that also makes me look like a novice and makes it less likely the seller's will take subsequent offers seriously.

I'm not a lender, so I will only speak from my personal experience of using the VA loan to buy a SFH and, subsequently, a duplex (both here in San Diego).

I ran across Ryan Pineda on IG and subsequently his wealthy investor/future flipper program. 

The most common structure is when the property was as a primary residence, and subsequently converted into rental property, and then sold within the three year window after the date the taxpayer moved out of the property and converted it into rental use. 

The subsequent 5 years had about +400 monthly on cashflow, and selling after 10 years netted around 80k.

Check out the above where it says "property was acquired subsequent to the most recent tax filing" -- obviously that wouldn't be there if the rental income couldn't be used for two full tax years, right?

As the number of repetitions happen, this delay has a very large impact on the growth/numbers when compared to the same timeline in scenario 1.This means the total PV and the total CF in Scenario 1 will be consistently less with every subsequent execution than it would if the original property was sold.when compared to Scenario 2.

I found a home inspector who will do an inspection every month for me and I'd like for him to have a list that he can check off and I can subsequently hand off to my handyman. 

When the court renders a decision subsequent to the inevitable challenge, they will likely find that discrimination - economic, emotional, sentimental, "gut instinct", etc. - is still discrimination, whether it is explicitly called out in the Federal or local codes or not.If it's appealed to a Federal court, that court may remind everyone what Federal statutes say about discrimination and how this type of business is expected to be conducted.I liked that example of "the Amazon manager".
