Even as such, given all of the activity Zillow shows with rental and sale prices, I would worry about the investment. - can you share your rental listing?

I don’t know why we didn’t get that vital piece of info in our initial meeting.So my wife and I are extremely relieved .She says she will stay on as a courtesy and if things come up it will just be an “ hourly “ rate for emergency type situations or basic boots on the ground necessities.We really like her enthusiasm and positivity and she is great at communicating and seems  sincerely empathetic to our situation.

Maybe if you can prove that you are actively trying to gain compliance, that will get you the much needed time to gather $, time to pull the permit and ppl to perform the work bc they will have a bit of mercy on you bc you are trying to do the right thing. 

I'd been hoping to not "go overboard" since it's just an owner-occupied house hack in a SFH so it sounds like I *could* keep things simple.This isn't so much about the software but I saw you're active in LA; did you find that the templatized leases via KeyCheck/Rocket Lawyer suited your MTRs?

First off, if you have passive activity losses carryovers (unused losses from previous years) those losses wil be recognized to the extent of your passive income (gain) from the sale.

In 2019 i only had handful of unbooked nights for the year and the area was active the entire year (there was no huge off season).  

I've been burned by this once before, but it's just less stress on me with this informal policy.

We have worked with Investors and they are never really married to their Realtors unless you happen to connect with somebody looking to do a long-term hold and actively trying to find a good realistic deal. 

I think the first question you need to answer is if you want to be an active investor or a passive investor.
