The person who is supposed to be in charge of our specific unit does not answer texts, and when I call it goes straight to voicemail.

Sorry but that LL is an idiot..... you either kick that person out in Feb 2022 or you religiously monitor that property for more illegal/unauthorized activity....because its going to happen.

You can roll it to a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and buy real estate or privately lend, but you couldn't do that with your personal rental otherwise you would blow your IRA up. 6.5% right now is a great rate...it's lower than what you can get a 30-year fixed owner-occupied home for.

A few counties have in-person tax lien auctions, not through GovEase.com, but it is the same rules.Alabama tax lien investors can only accumulate the correct number of tax liens for the correct number of years and then file a lien foreclosure lawsuit.

The paperwork was...pretty hefty, but I've been doing this long enough where I'm pretty desensitized to it, all the personal financial statements and schedules. 

Personally I don't think the home office deduction is worth the eyeballs it always brings from the IRS.

Cleaning is hard work, it takes skill to clean properly, it is not cheap to buy quality products, and gas is definitely not cheap. 

All clients of RLS should receive my personal number for just this type of situation.

Dealers/movers definitely know what they can get, and private sellers follow suit so you'd have to be motivated/connected AND be able to move fast to find a fair deal on a decent 'newer' used manufactured in the first place.I'd probably go new 75% of the time vs what I've been able to find price wise, used, personally..

If so, then why would you want to learn from that type of person?
