., you are exercising independent judgment with respect to the rental and not simply ratifying decisions made by a manager, then, you may deduct up to $25,000 of real estate losses in a given tax year if your modified adjusted gross income (basically your non-real estate related income, with a few tweaks) is less than $100,000.  

You can only use the VA loan on one home at a time, so the lease option buyer will need to exercise the option & purchase before they will be able to use their VA loan again.

The taxes were not paid for 2015 or 2016 and the only address listed is in the tax records is the homes physical address. 

Although I'm not physically in Syracuse right now, I've lived there for several years and bought my first house within Syracuse city last year.

I know that there is a point that I need to walk away from the property, but I want to exercise my mind by trying to come up with other solutions. 

.;-)You physically don't have room to make this space function. 

I give every single way I can think of to contact me, including a phone number that I answer every time it rings, email and physical address. 

Nice post Account Closed- in my experience (nobody has exercised so far on mine) and from what I've read, the % of TBs that actually exercise and purchase LOs is really low.  

You seem to be glossing over the physical toll many trade jobs can take on the body.  

I estimated the expenses at 12% more than the yearly expenses on my other existing property (which is 9 years old, also 3 units, same # of BRs, overall same physical condition, same neighborhood).
