This is why mentorship can be so powerful in helping people achieve their goals.

The plan is to put the rentals in SCH E of our joint return and file with TurboTax-We live in Florida-Leases under my wife's name, Airbnb app under my name, dedicated bank account for all rentals activity in the name of both-We have umbrella policy for liability protection for the rentals-We leverage some contractors (for example cleaning lady for the Airbnbs or lawn maintenance guy) that we pay >$600 for their services in a year and they are not our employees.

With that capital, I’m planning to either dive into a larger multifamily project in Detroit or grab a small duplex or quad in San Francisco.To reach that $500k mark, I’m leaning on the power of cash-out refinancing.

Offer to give them their full deposit in cash on move-out day, if they leave the place clean and empty, etc.  

Or do they just want to sign an agreement to move out in 30 days and you'll give them their full deposit in cash on move-out day, if they leave the place clean?

Two notes:1) The solar company may give you the best interest rate.2) If the power goes out, you still don’t have power if you have solar. 

Quote from @Robert Powers: Quote from @David Hausner: My name is David Hausner and I recently purchased a Single Family Residence with LoanGuys.com.

Furnishings that are easy to clean, along with amenities like high-speed internet and pet-friendly options, go a long way.

You can even "pay yourself" the cleaning fee if you want to and do the turnovers yourself. 

If you do outsource, some management companies will cover various things like cleaning, supplies, etc. so look into that as well.
