Should we expect the Federal portion of the rent check from the gov't Feb 1??

Long-Term Rental Rules: Even though my properties are long-term rentals, are there any tax benefits I might be missing if I occasionally rent them short-term?

That leaves me with 2 houses, both rented but one of them needs to go too.All this is close to the end of a dead end street.

I'm using Baselane for accounting and rent collection.

say you find a solid property in a low cost market for $200K and you buy it.between down payment, closing costs, rent ready / spruce up costs, and lease-up costs, you're probably going to need at least 50-65K in cash. 

Average rents are $1,250 (Again Zillow) Easily a losing propostion.

Some rents in what some define as an A may hold strong values but rents compared to purchase price may not be comparable to a B.

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

Hosts can get involved by either donating a portion of rents from their payouts or they can offer housing at a discounted rate.

I provided a free rent back for 2 weeks so the seller could get her funds and relocate.
