I'd say normally you see restrictions within condo buildings rather than SFH developments with HOAs, but it's always good to check for sure.

If it > 5 units they normally use income. 

You may want to hire someone to consult with to make sure you are doing everything correctly.The issues that I normally catch are people not properly allocating expenses to business and personal.For example, mortgage interest will likely be split between personal(part where you live) and business(area where tenant live).Furthermore, I often see people deducting the full mortgage payment when only the payment to mortgage interest / real estate taxes are deductible.best of luck!

if they do well or as predicted, i will start my sabbatical 2024, if they don't do well, i would work an extra year or two. i would also consider exiting a DST when they mature if they're not to my liking since my tax bracket would be lower in 7-8 years when DSTs normally mature.

As a helpful tip, I just got my hotel room booked at the Sheraton (where BP Con is held) for over $100 off the price on the BP Con site or the hotel site's normal rate.

However, it is normal for the Property Management Company to charge the 10% on the first of the month if they get the rent or not?  

A normal market has 6 months supply on hand (neither buyer or sellers market) below 6 months of inventory is a sellers market, above 6 months of inventory is a buyers market. 

It triggers dealer status and the income will be taxed at normal income tax rates.

But normally, the appraisal is owned by the old lender  (they are the client to the appraisal company), so you will need their permission.

Was wondering if this is normal or how to go about finding a right property manager who sees the true value?
