For Redfin to show comps you may need to login to view the past solds, if no sales data just discount a few % off the listing price since some markets are going for near retail anyway.

Most listing agents for REOs will probably not take certain kinds of POF letters very seriously and you might be better off approaching owners of real estate instead.

There are lots of benefits - buying, selling commission, access to the MLS, access to better data, access to contracts and addendums, access to your broker for knowledge, the list goes on and on.

Any and all advice is welcome on self-managing-- I have the majority of this squared away (my team is pretty much in place, I am just worried about how to make myself available for issues that arise and how to best optimize my listing.) 

I would do discounts on grass upkeep for sure, but I think single-family rentals need more curb appeal to get that right renter so some listing landscaping could help that instead of just a boring facade.

I can't answer your questions about whether those items would be problems for your lender, and they are good questions for him.

People are generally referring to this type of entry as contra-expense or atleast that's how I interpreted.In the PA tax return, this line item was highlighted in Red and hence the question

I’ve seen vague listing descriptions where either the listing agent didn’t verify that fact or they were purposefully misleading by marketing those STRs as if the permit could be transferred to a new buyer.I certainly wish they could because it would help increase value of my home being able to sell the permit with it when I was ready to trade up.Hope this helps Andre!

I am also a licensed Realtor so I would not pay to list.

I can make lender recommendations, but one piece of advice I tend to give is check out the 203k endorsement summary (just google it)HUD each month puts out a list of lenders that have written 203k loans in each market.
