I’m researching how big of a problem this is in tenant screening and would love to hear real-world experiences.

Does anybody have any experience with them? 

I ended up doing that in 2021 and found properties that have made me money rather than costing me money every month. 

It also confirms the amount of security deposit and the lease ending date.

Its honestly going to come down to the numbers and what your end goal is?

I was wondering what your experience has been, good or bad with buying rental property in close proximity to the firehouse/station?

Ended up partnering with my parents 50/50 and actually was able to buy two properties the same month.

Just from my experience.

My point is certain things are learned with experience and 1) acting as GC once does not provide an opportunity to leverage the experience 2) mistakes can be costly.good luckHi Dan,thank you.

One of my goals is to go through my past tax returns, and figure the ROI my rental properties with taking into account the tax savings (I typically calculate the ROI on net cashflow at the end of the year)I have a W2 so I generally aim to maximize my pre-tax accounts - 401k, HSA, IRA to a backdoor Roth IRA, 529My "losses" would be passed forward since I don't qualify as a RE professional nor have active RE losses.
