It is important to know how to run your numbers when looking at potential investments and expenses that are deductible can't be removed because technically all expenses are deductible. 

Technically yes, but still no.

@John Michael RobersonI agree with @Kory Reynolds: tax-wise, it is a workable plan, as long as you are hands-off, which in technical terms is known as failing material participation.I would caution however against focusing strictly on taxes.

If you don't flip your properties in <3-6 months, then you technically don't need a no-seasoning lender in the first place. 

Or would you have to pay commercial property taxes since it is technically considered an investment?

I spent the last 25+ years of my life in technical and executive recruiting, and now looking to taking some of those hard-earned skills and applying them to the world of property wholesaling/investing.

Seems that suddenly, a technical - and permanent - issue with "Youtube's platform", now prevents VRBO from allowing the videos.  

As you have heard in the comments, a single family is typically easier to sell if you need to than a duplex; and while one tenant is technically easier than two, I don't think there is that much difference in how hard one is to own than the other.

Although this is technically one single property, for tax reporting purposes, we will treat them as though they are two totally separate assets because they have experienced different use in their history.

If we randomly placed clients without being mindful of the technical needs it would be a recipe for disaster just about every time I suppose!
