And if you're losing money, you'd get that writeoff against your regular income plus the depreciation writeoff.Still, I'd find better areas where even if you paid retail or say 10% under retail, you can do a little better than lose 1k a month.

My realtor isn't showing me anything that isn't on the regular residential MLS and she doesn't really add any value to these larger deals. 

Plus a regular home will have established value and appreciation while a container home will be hard to comp.

I have not read the Virginia law on this, but we fund deals for wholesalers in Virginia regularly, so to the best of my knowledge there are no rules requiring a real estate license to do a same day back to back closing.

If your regular depreciation is not enough to erase all of your net income, cost segregation can do the trick.

(I don’t know if a regular warranty company would use this as a reason not to cover you as well, especially if the repair was expensive.)

This is just a general spreadsheet for calculating capex, regular expenses, vacancy, etc.

I guess I can ask for more rent from the host than from a regular tenant?

We also have other great lenders we work with regularly, some as long as about 20 years. 

Take notes and review those notes regularly.
