I have a separate lease and option, both 3 years.  

You could create a separate event called “other expense” that happens to match the savings contribution, but changes to one do not automatically make changes to the other.  

I currently keep separate files for my investment properties, but there are ways to aggregate all this into one personal file and use class tracking for each of your properties. 

I guess it could also make sense if you were using the basement as personal storage but would hope you would have your own separate access. 

Since my goal is to get 10 offers accepted that means I need to make 10k calls in 3 months.I'll probably hire a separate VA.

In the Denver MLS, both sides of a duplex and small multifamilies actually have a separate search. 

Would I be able to lease these panels out to my tenant, separate from their residential lease?

With the amount of multi families in my area I’ve always thought about buying one, creating an HOA, and flipping each unit separately. 

Planning to eventually rent both the upstairs & downstairs as 2 separate 2bd/1b apartments.

My self storage business seems to meet most of the requirements for being excluded from my total assets - the business/real property is owned by a family-controlled pass-through LLC, has employees but fewer than 100, provides services in connection with its real estate holdings, and keeps separate bank accounts in the business name.
