Maybe one the contributors on BP will see your message and start something like that.  

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice. 

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

I agree with Adam on this.

Gerard uses Appfolio to manage everything which is nice because of the online tools.  

I'm about 2 years into this "helper role" or "apprentice" role if you will and I'm starting to take on larger and larger roles and run my own deals.  

My project is expected to exit this year and it appears that will happen as expected and in line with projections or maybe a little better.

Based on your situation, you will likely need to recapture the depreciation when you convert the property from a rental (STR) to your primary residence in 2025. 

It might depend on what state the assets are in, and what state the entity structures in.

One of the things I learned early is that the margins on a deal need to be substantial.
