My financial advisor is on vacation so I thought I'd throw the question out here.

HomeGoods also had a ton of great pieces on offer when I was furnishing my Airbnb - lamps, mirrors, side tables, chairs, stools, kitchen and bathroom accessories, throw pillows, blankets, etc.I am very much NOT a fan of Ikea furniture - most of it is recognizable (not in a good way), looks and feels cheap, and also doesn't hold up well at all over time, but certain pieces may have a time and place in your rentals (lighting, kitchen accessories, silverware/plates/bowls, etc).  

They bought the house for 164K and they are suing for 150K - I cannot see how this number makes sense, my attorney says they are likely just throwing a number out and seeing what sticks.

Because of how my Schedule E is with all of the write offs, it throws off what I can qualify for.One thought I had was start purchasing under an LLC and have the LLC take out the loan.

If a person throws out a retail price that they expect on their home and they want it in cash then we try to overcome that objection over the phone. 

I also have 20 k in student loans left.Now, I am planning on building up reserves and throwing a tad extra at the mortgages each month.Will one more unit make your portfolio that much better ?

Most insurance companies will throw $500-$2,000 to someone for medical if they trip and fall on something, as long as it isn't seen as a hazard that should be fixed.

Maybe throw in the appliances if they pay on time.3.)

Doesn’t matter if they’re in left field; doesn’t matter if they’re about to throw $40k they don’t have down the drain; doesn’t matter that they’re about to send an already shaky marriage into crisis mold; no, they want a “warm and fuzzy”, an “atta boy”, told they’re headed for wealth and success, even if it’s a total lie.So it struck me - THIS is what the guru’s sell.

I've never heard of someone providing substantial services to long-term tenants so I thought it was interesting to throw it out there.
