Our management company currently collects a traditional deposit from all tenants, including traveling healthcare professionals.

Once we had the home inspection I was able to have the seller credit us at closing $8k...of which the escrow could not credit the entire amount and so I had the seller write up a personal check for $2000 How did you finance this deal?

Does anyone have a good effective 3rd party mailing company to send mailers direct to seller?

Jeremy, I hope you don’t take this badly…..I noticed your posts don’t get much “traction” The reason is they read like slick marketing “puff” pieces you find posted on LinkedIn all the time, rather than personally engaged discussions, If you want significant engagement, just write something out, and don’t even “edit” it, just go with the first draft, giving the effect like a personal conversation with someone.  

Everything in tax depends on the personal situation. 

It's very personal and varies wildly. 

I'm willing to help this person in any way I can.

As an avid public and private markets investor, I solely believe a person's network is their net worth.

They may get paid on the 3rd and need to not initiate a payment until their paycheck hits their account to avoid being overdrawn.I personally have a 5 day grace period and rent is considered paid when the transfer is initiated.

Don't talk yourself into a place because of personal use.Buying a $475k condo that brings in 35k in gross rental income will lose a lot of money.
