Also, I can't really list it until I have my own proper photos, which means waiting until we get occupancy, so it could potentially sit empty for a while.My questions are:- Aside from listing on Furnished Finder, are there any other ways to connect with potential MTR tenants?

@Carlos Martinez - Are you able to provide a cost estimate for the roof and/or the increased cost of the premiums?

Buy a house that might need some work, and get some roommates to offset the cost.

In Reno, we analyze the entire market simultaneously to sort the best potential cash flowing deals.

If the later is the case, unless your contract with that buyer had specific performance language in it, there is nothing you can do.As to the advice above about potentially clouding title, you are now entering the legal realm and you should NOT be taking legal advice from anyone other than your attorney as clouding title in THIS case can swing back at you from the original sellers for not performing and claiming damages against you.If you intend to wholesale, you need to do it legally and ethically and in many states, that requires either a license, closing on it with your funds or borrowed funds, then marketing for resale once you have title, or having your buyer upfront, forming a legal entity with both you and buyer as owners.

BUT, I can do a cost seg and bonus depreciation on the 3 remaining rental in 2024 to use those losses to offset my W-2 via REPS. 

This increased risks and costs is reflected in future rent increases.  

I'm going to run some details by you and I'd like all of you who feel you are qualified to advise me so I can learn how to properly analyze these deals and be more cognizant of potential pitfalls/mistakes:So, I found this property off market in a Chicago real estate investment group.

Is building a new property for a house hack potentially a good idea if our goal is to continue to scale/grow our capital or should we just stick to looking at existing properties that need work and pull our money out post-renovation? 

The sides and back are one-story, and I can easily clean those gutters myself during turnovers.I’m also considering that periodic gutter cleanings might be more cost-effective than following the tech's recommendation.Does this quote and the suggested work seem reasonable?
