I’m looking to purchase a condo on a golf course in Green Valley Ranch but I’m getting mixed feelings.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hi Tia,Yes, of course.

I want to be understanding (despite some unwelcome commentary about my rental during a second tour that went on for nearly 1 hour after lease was signed...) and professional, but this sets me back to step one of finding a tenant while maintaining two mortgages/bills and outdoor spaces. 

I am interested in how rental losses work if income is over $150K and if not a real estate professional. 

Of course, that means that your property will need to be prepared properly for this, which means "no carpet". 

Can a qualified real estate professional with a W-2 income above $150,000 be allowed to write off rental losses on my tax returns?

By the end of September, I will have 25k saved up to use on a property (outside of my personal emergency fund of course).

Having professional remediation is unbelievably expensive to pay rent on all of the equipment, monitor moisture content multiple times daily, and ultimately cut out some of the sheetrock to replace it.

Can you believe people are spending, 4, 5 6 7 k on SEC 8 courses?????
