@Chris Mahoo Even without qualifying for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), long-term rentals offer key benefits like depreciation deductions over 27.5 years, deductible expenses (e.g., mortgage interest, repairs), and up to $25,000 in passive loss deductions if your MAGI is under $150K.

We are still using some towels after 7 years of use as well as all the sheets since we started.The key to those is washing them right.

Months' supply, a key market balance indicator, is expected to improve from a 3.7 month average in 2024 to 4.1 months in 2025.

I have even had to remove the skeletal remains of disconnected K&T that was totally cut and not in use due to my insurance company wanting all existing components whether functional or disconnected to be removed.

If that's the case look into finding a handyman, and make sure to shop around for the best price.Stuff I have ran into:lost keys/lockpicking [hired]broken washer [fixed myself]shower door [fixed myself]AC clogged [hired]Microwave broken [replaced myself]holes in the wall [fixed myself] Thank you!

The key word here is partners! 

Its this sharp depreciating component which has always prevented such a purchase.  

Ownership of the fence remains the key driver.

If you can find practice tests, that is my recommendation - that is what I did after taking the required time component and did not have any issues passing the test. 

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
