Quote from @Shaun Ng: Hi, I recently have a legal name change, and I own 2 rental properties in Fairfax county, VA.

We aren't quite there yet, still finishing doing some restructuring.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Stetson Oates: I’m not an attorney so this is not legal advice!!!!

But need to check legality of that.

I consulted with a real estate lawyer a few times this year who said it's very hard to sue for negligence and they advised against taking legal action, especially since the property manager at least followed through on the eviction and repairs.I've now asked the property management company to apply a $4k credit for all the challenges I've had working with them.

I prefer graduate students whenever possible because they don't have time for partying, are of legal age anyway, and generally tend to be by themselves or with a partner so it's more like renting to a couple.

Trying to pay the least amount of taxes legally possible. 

Ask the builder or their legal representative for a copy of the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) or any supplemental documents specific to the development.Financing Considerations: If you’re financing the property, some loan types have limitations on renting out a home within the first year.

The AP has to be open, notorious and hostile...those terms have a legal meaning and essentially it is that you as the owner have been fully deprived of your right to the property.Absent those items above, it sounds like at best they have another legal right which is a "prescriptive easement".

Even if they do not, it’s not your legal responsibility.Long version: It actually depends on your method of payment, and it’s not always clear.Credit card payments: clearly not you problem, no 1099s needed.Zelle payments: you DO need to send 1099s for Zelle payments.PayPal, Venmo and Cash App payments: this is where it gets tricky.
