We negotiated a 7 month lease (his request... which I thought was fine seeing as if he chose not to renew, it would be easy to find a tenant in Summer) with a condition in the lease that if wanted to extend to the end of the year, he would need to let me know by the end of February.

Thanks for any thoughts.

You may want to consider working with your tax strategist remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

It's crucial to conduct thorough due diligence, understand the local market dynamics, and be prepared for the responsibilities that come with being a landlord.

So, while money is tight I thought it would be a good idea to purchase home warranties for our 3 homes (10 individual units in total because of attached granny units and subdividing).  

, I have been avoiding heavy crime areas, what's your thought on the accuracy of the website?)
