But I just want to start the conversation so we can negotiate the terms so it's beneficial for both parties.

So it will be an awkward conversation.

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

Once converted to a rental, repairs and improvements may qualify as deductible expenses, but pre-conversion repairs typically do not.

Have a frank conversation with the property manager. 

Twenty of the the homes were BRRRR and two were full conversions from single-family to assisted living. 

But THANK you for you information and hope to continue the conversation.  

and it ended in a circular conversation to nowhere.

This conversion will begin at the end of the month.I am just sharing the above to give context to my level of experience with this type of investment.I look forward to hearing from you all.

While automation can help with data pulling, it’s those conversations and local market knowledge that ultimately give us the edge in making informed decisions.I really appreciate your thorough response.
