Look for professionals who understand the unique needs of real estate investors.

Since rental losses are typically passive, the best way to offset W-2 income is through Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) (750+ hours) or Short-Term Rentals (STRs) (100+ hours and more time than anyone else managing the property), which allow real estate losses, including depreciation, to offset active income.A cost segregation study accelerates depreciation, generating large upfront deductions.

The basic answer to your question is likely yes because I believe anyone who inherits an IRA can roll it over and what you are talking about is a valid way to roll an IRA over I believe but get advice from a professional on this one before taking action.

Going live as a STR in 2 weeks Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Looking to connect with fellow investors, developers, and professionals who are interested in leveraging design to maximize their real estate ventures. 

I'm curious as what y'all consider to be the minimum criteria for approving a tenant, assuming you don't have access to professional tools.

Quote from @Andrea Lucarelli: I’m interested in beginning my REI career with purchasing a SFH or condo in Cleveland area (safe neighborhood) to list as a furnished rental for travel medical professionals, supply corporate housing needs, or house temporarily displaced families for insurance companies.  

Scale down, explore passive investments, seek financial advice, prioritize well-being, liquidate assets if debt burdens are too great, and reenter the market cautiously, leveraging past experiences.Good luck!

That said, I'm grateful for the alternatives you present--you're keeping the bottom line in mind, so I appreciate your help in exploring options that achieve the bottom line for the investors.
