One tenant has lived there for 13 years & disabled with assistive devices in place, so most likely won't move out.In a C class area. 

It keeps me from having to stockpile reserves for repairs and so fourth 

Red flags are overly eager, offering to do repairs, offering advance rent payment, inability to pay FMR, deposit, LMR in advance in full, negative comments about present landlord, needing to move in less that a month. 

I have a guy that’s done a couple repairs on my rental. 

Then I read Dave Ramsey and even assisted in teaching one of his group classes at my church.

Nice repairs, but nothing extravagant.FIFTH, we purchased the house in 2001 for $193,000.

We cannot use the SHST rule because we have greater than 2% spending on just repair and maintenance.Is there a list of common spending activities on rental properties and the various current tax rules they fall under available anywhere?

I live in Dayton Ohio and am looking for investors who are knowledgeable and are willing to share expertise and assist in my early uprising in whatever way they can provide.

One property I’m looking at everything is good, they have reserves, owner occupy ratio is good but the roof is currently being repaired through the insurance company.
