One of the lease for a rental is about to expire and would like to change from single family to rent by the room and try, to market for regular leasing we normally go to Zillow and advertise for free, but for rent by the room not sure which of all the sites out there will be the best option(s), some of them are for free, majority pay a monthly or anual subscription ($99 to $200).Do you have any guidance on which to select?

I'm collecting more evidence from this lender and already connecting even more incriminating evidence and adding on more charges to these guys.If you or someone you know has EVER worked with any of these names, please reach out to me incase what you have might seriously help out my case and save other lenders, other attorneys, other regular people etc from being screwed. 

You could point out that since it's a rental for the last 12 years, she will have some serious capital gains to pay with a regular bank-financed sale, and with your proposal, that tax will only come due after the balloon payment. 

My online license course barely mentioned regular mortgage financing.

Hi Katie, do the tax benefits apply to just Real Estate professionals or could it also apply to regular full-time W-2 employees?

This can help with limiting the time your unit sits vacant.These situations can get tricky, but I always recommend staying level headed during your interactions with the tenant.The worst case scenario is the tenant ends up unhappy that you don't want them to break the lease early and/or they don't want to pay for an early lease break (hopefully defined in your lease agreement with them) and ends up damaging your property, costing more, prior to their actual move out date.

If you buy a regular deal with a regular down payment in a regular neighborhood, you'll probably lose money in the short term and be cash flow negative. 

Is there any particular maintenance that is required in a regular basis?

I would regularly update your photos to reflect seasonal changes or recent upgrades, ensuring they are high-quality and well-lit.
