I am too lazy to look it up, but pretty sure it is legal.

Other than the 1 property I am renting my family's taxes are pretty straight forward with a couple W-2 and no LLC, so when I got the $1,700+ quote for tax preparation it seemed a bit much.

You just have to know the area  the soils and or get owners permission to do a test if they will allow it ( pretty rare i suspect to be able to do that)..

nice update, pretty bird

Cleveland is one of the best markets for cash flow, but 2% deals in 2023 are pretty hard to come across.

They found it out, andI had to go to the planning board and zoning board, hire an engineer and architect to make the fourth unit legal.In my opinion, the realtor should have verified the zoning, and if you used bank financing, it's pretty rare for the bank to miss it as well.You are probably going to have to hire an architect to draw plans and to get it approved as a triplex.I wish you luck.

I can say my personal experience has been pretty mediocre.

Homes will have even more deferred maintenance and tenants will be even harder on them.Class D pretty much requires an OWNER to be on location and at the property 3-4 times/week.

So that helped.I personally wanted to be more conservative as I pretty much reach “the number” that I needed (note that what “I needed” is different from what “I wanted” or what I was expecting by default.)

Brown, I obviously don't use other registered agents so @Nathan Gesner suggestion is pretty good.
