Thanks again for your info.Disclaimer:  I'm not a CPA or Attorney, so you should get your specific advice on these topics from a professional : )You get 14 days to use the property for personal use before the IRS removes the ability to write off expenses.

Any advice or personal stories to share on this topic?

What are some key topics to focus on when deciding who to work with a specific brokerage?

I'm sure this topic has been covered a thousand times before, but wanted to refresh the topic.The way we operate we require a standard 12 month lease on move in and our leases all automatically convert to month-to-month leases at the one year mark once this 12 month term is fulfilled.

@Nelson Sbravatti I would recommend Lance Lowenstein for all rental & RE related topics. 

Under the topic "Build, preserve, and retrofit more than two million homes and commercial buildings to address the affordable housing crisis" the text from FACT SHEET: The American Jobs Plan says: Eliminate exclusionary zoning and harmful land use policies.

I'm just getting into RE investing myself, so don't have a lot of knowledge around that topic to offer, but I'm very connected with professionals across various industries throughout Orange County and Los Angeles.
