There is a unique tax deduction in the US called a “conservation easement.”It was designed by the IRS to encourage real estate owners to make pristine land, that could be enjoyed by the public, a conservation ground, and thus un-developable.In return, the landowner could treat the act of granting a “conservation easement” as tax-deductible.

I strongly  encourage to share this information  and write an email and letter to as many state representatives and the governor to veto this bill or reverse  it.AB 2424 (Schiavo)

**"Cash for keys" is a strategy that landlords can use to encourage a tenant to vacate a property without having to go through a formal eviction process.

When you set up the showing, repeat your main requirements, ask a few questions, and encourage them to pre-screen themselves so they don't waste money or time.3.

If you have any advice, recommendations or words of encouragement..

@Josh WellsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You do have some interaction via FB yet you can save yourself a ton of money teaching yourself on here, BP.

However, Thach’s program is very interactive and we are on his live zooms more than twice a week.

Hi All, I know I haven't been on here for a while, but I've honestly been too busy to log on and interact.

You need to have a mechanism to remove tenants who are a problem, and I would strongly encourage you to consult an attorney the moment you close to get your lease terms right.
