If it matters, I travel most of the time for work but technically split my time between Orange County, CA and Denver. 

If you have a mortgage on it, you can still do the quit claim but just know that you are opening your self up for your lender to exercise due on sale clause even though it is technically not a sale.

After the tenant moved out, the property underwent major renovations, and the plan is to put the property back up for rent in the next few weeks.My question is, as part of the BARRR strategy (buy, advertise, rehab, rent, refinance), since the house was already technically rented out, can I deduct all rehab expenses even if I didn't re-advertise the property as available for rent?

Please PM me with details.

I would need more details on the property. 

You can easily get into a 1-4 unit property using an FHA loan, house hack the units and then repeat.As far as meeting local investors I think there is a monthly meet in the burlington/anacortes areas but I don't remember details.

However, having it specifically in my lease gives me more grounds to enforce it than if it wasn't.Make sure your lease specifically details the repercussions of these types of occurrences. 

If it’s a third party PM you’ll get a nice PDF of detailed expenses.

(some details have been glossed over so that I don't bore you but I will be happy to answer any questions)Thank you!!!

Or a bank that portfolios their own loans (not sure about the details on those two), but if you do a normal loan covered by Freddie and Fannie guidelines its 6 months.
