this job is not easy to manage but im a hard working woman and I can do this, was married for 29 years, have 6 kids, age 27 years old, 22, 15, 11, 9 and 8 years old, my work for 22 years was my home, my life was dedicated to my family, now im starting a new life with my kids and decided to invest in real estate, I don't know much about investing im new here, but im learning a lot here with BiggerPockets, thank you very much for what you do, my new challenge is to manage my midterm vacation ren Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

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

@Vincent L Sanchez our original lease was 6 pages at 14-point font. 20+ years later it's 26 pages at 10-point font.You live & you learn.Recommend you keep researching the leases of others, even in other states, and copy & paste what you like - after running by an experienced landlord-tenant attorney.Be careful what attorneys you use as many will charge you while they learn!

Additionally, lenders may consider various factors such as past income statements from the subject property or income statements from similar properties nearby, managed by professionals.

Do you think I care if the value goes up or down 10 % ? 

I hate having paid for land that's doing nothing but I don't see any other option right now besides selling.You have to be careful with some of these Spec cabins as well.

Careful - sometimes the notes for sale are the ones that lenders don't want on their balance sheets. 

Have been a scientist, salesman, professional firefighter and through it all, a real estate investor and landlord. 

Your rental income and expenses would end up on your personal return and could net to zero, but not be deductible (unless you have real estate professional status).Bill does have a good idea about living in a residence for two years, fixing it up, and selling it with the exclusion (up to 500k for a married couple), if that was something you wanted to do.  

In the future, after this guest I'll take the time to get professional photos and create listings for other places like Airbnb, Zillow, VRBO, etc.
