Incredible lessons learned on how detailed the city of Bellaire requirements are, working in the floodplain, balancing multiple projects and scaling the business.

It would clearly require good property management.

@Jordan Miller - I think to give proper guidance it would be good to share more details on the revenues and expenses on the property.

@Jim Stanley Keep in mind any expenses of your SDIRA asset must be paid for by the account that owns that asset. 

The city has changed Section 8 requirements multiple times lately.  

However, safe harbor is not required to claim QBI; you can still qualify under general trade or business principles.

As for holding periods, some lenders may require you to occupy the property for a short time before converting it to a rental (typically 6-12 months), so check the fine print on that.If you’re set on making it an investment property, you may need to work with a lender who specializes in investment properties, even if it means a slightly higher rate.

The deal was identified by my real estate agent and requires a quick closing.How did you finance this deal?

You either have verified income and meet the other requirements, or don't. 

If I would require some documentation from the city, would that trigger them to do the property lookup?
