However, California treats rental income as passive regardless of REP status, so these benefits won’t apply at the state level.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I don't mean to be a "stick in the mud", but successful SubTo is treated very differently than a bank loan investment property.I've done Subject To for a very long time, been sued over some pretty ridiculous accusations and have had to sue to clear up title.

I've heard people in this forum suggest that you treat them all like animals.

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

Better tenants expect better and treat the property so.

Any good HML will be happy to share the contact info of borrowers so you can see how easy the process was and how well they treated the investor.Can you share a recent closing document or HUD?

It’s standard practice and an essential safeguard for landlords.Trust your instincts and treat this as a non-negotiable policy.

I'm not sure why that metric has held true but it still applies, the properties that perform well above that ratio are the owners that treat their STR like a business.

And, I think its fair to say that we all may forget what people say or the information they provide, but we all never forget how someone treated us and made us feel! 

So we treat him as our CFO.
