I also find, as you do, it is often the guests who cause many of the problems.

Florence, Alabama, is gaining traction among real estate investors, offering prime opportunities in land and new construction.

Let them out if they continue to work with you to keep the place clean and allow showings so you can find a new tenant.

Lots of people lie, I also find with social media some are overly dramatic. 

I would work with your real estate tax professional on that piece.More than likely looking at capitalizing that 11k and depreciating it, unfortunately. 

I have the ability to get these units built at very favorable costs and there are no real comps I can find so I am at a loss for planning my development strategy with regards to the size of loan I could reasonably get.This will be my first project and my partner's third but he self-financed the two others.

You have come to the right place for real estate investing! 

The real question is if you want to deal with the hassle.

I truly believe that it's always a good time to buy real estate, as long as you know where to go and where it makes sense.

Finding the right operator is the key here but once you do it's passive for 3-5 years as a commercially leased home.
