Although a reasonable accommodation request can be made orally or in writing, it is usually helpful for both the resident and the housing provider if the request is made in writing.To recap:It’s unlawful as a landlord to not follow a reasonable accommodation request;An applicant is not entitled to an accommodation unless requested;It is usually helpful to both the housing provider and the resident that the requests are made in writingPerhaps it is now a little more clear why we provide an applicant the ability to make such a request, in writing, on the application.  

If you are renting out the furnished unit as a business, you may be able to deduct some or all of the costs associated with furnishing the unit as business expenses.

Hi there,I am looking to buy a set of 3 duplexes (that are $125k each) Id like to buy either one or all of them, wondering if I buy 2 or three if I can roll them into one DSCR loan to save on all the fees.

Not saying my manager is inadequate, but following up on my end & doing a part to keep things rolling along.

Payments that you make normally fall into one of 3 buckets100% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnPartial payment can be factored somewhere on the return0% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnHouse-hacking also has considerable tax implications in the event that you want to sell this property.You can potentially defer a portion or all of the gain on the investment property with 1031 exclusion.You can potentially exclude a portion or all of the gain on the personal residence with section 121 exclusion

I am still learning about it and going through the process so I don't know yet if I would recommend it, but from what I know it covers most or all of the pre-construction costs as well.Yes, I have talked with a few local agents and found one group that I like a lot and will be working with.

If someone reclaims the property you may lose most or all your rehab investment.  

Here are a few:Wholesaling                                     REITFix and Flip                                      REOsBuy and Hold                                   Real Estate AgentMultiFamily                                      Zero Down (Purchases)Commercial                                     Cash Flow (Tenant Buyers)Raw land                                          RentalsTax Liens                                          Property ManagementMortgages and Notes                      Etc, Etc, EtcSo, I'm not sure what "your meanin'" is, but each has it's advantages.Some require money, or credit or knowledge, or all three but if you can figure out which best suits you, people can better direct you.

You don't have to be an all active or all passive investor. a blended approach can also work. 2X in 3-5yrs is tough to beat.Regards,Joe

I already belong to an apartment association, but sometimes I feel inadequate because of the knowledge gap in certain areas such as tenant problem resolution, and mediation as well as navigating the do's and don'ts in our wonderful landlord-unfriendly state.
