To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Not to mention, solar panels can also be a cause of roof leaks and require regular cleaning to maintain some level of efficiency which is not great to start with while also getting worse over time.

I believe that self-managing your property and maintaining detailed records is the only true way to demonstrate your material participation and safeguard your tax savings.

If you fail at that then concealed is a far better option than open carry in my opinion due to maintaining the element of surprise and avoiding all the complications of how the majority of the public views open carry.

Understand true costs to maintain a home2.

It's a bit cumbersome, you have to maintain strict financial separation, and because the loans have to be non-recourse, your LTV is lower.

The heavy cleaning and repair costs after longer stays are definitely pain points but I've seen my clients make it work by screening the tenants more carefully for MTRs, doing bi-monthly checks to catch issues early, and writing clear lease terms about maintaining the property.

The home we have now in Lakeland, TN (near Millington) is definitely Class A and there is a large volume of transients that move through the naval base, FEDEX and other like jobs that our neighborhood of 400+ homes hardly ever has ever rental openings, but there are often multiple homes for sale.We think if we can maintain the right type of tenant we will be fine.

This ensures you’re protected in case of disputes and shows your commitment to maintaining the property thoughtfully and responsibly.I know this was longggg, but hope it helps you or anyone else with this same question. 

But you still have to provide (and maintain) a kitchen, a bathroom, HVAC (well maybe just heat), a water heater.
