Yes, you can go after them through their chain of command but trust me....there's plenty of military members who are not good with money or wouldn't make good tenants.

And yet we have most national chains, two Trader Joe's, two Whole Foods, lots of Sprouts, Lush and tons of others you wouldn't expect to see someplace where everything is twenty minutes away. 

This seems to be standard for them, but they are the only national chain that I think will even CONSIDER equity lines on rental properties.  

Because at my local REIA.... the whole-salers and gurus make up a significant portion of the REIA Board.Its like if McDonalds had a powerful position in the local public school system then the meals.... oh....wait

And due to supply chain issues, material prices sky-rocketed (e.g., lumber prices), and it was difficult to find a contractor as a new investor. 

I had MULTIPLE guests in my MTR who have basically lived off of freezer meals for their survival with their crazy work schedules.

Some cities are opposed to STRs due to the lobbying of massive hotel chains.

If you do that, yes it is deductible - flight, lodging, meals, car rental.

But I've got a few friends living in 500k neighborhoods there and you wouldn't want to leave anything outside that isn't chained up.

Hi @Mike Loop, IF you have multiple exterior doors on the property the cost effect of this might answer the question for you, but assuming you only have a front door:As long as a handle AND some sort of manual securing method (like the latches or chains that are only useable when you are inside the home) this would/should/could be a non-issue.There's no predicting people's fear and thoughts around safety sometimes, but this should create a reality in which they are able to be certain they are safe when they are in the home.
