@Nathan GesnerI am waiting for people to start creating fake car leases and run around stealing cars.

My Open Door Capital Sunbelt Diversified Portfolio isn't currently paying dividends.

A passive activity is seen as a business activity in which there is ownership interest but no active participation in the daily activities of running the business.

I invest in Detroit for myself (12 doors) and am extremely active there outside my own stuff.Happy to connect and talk about my experience in that market.

In either case, if you call the employee listed on her voucher or annual renewal notice, they're usually happy to run the numbers ahead of time and let you know exactly what will happen, though they obviously wont encourage you to raise the rent over the limit even if they wont actually reject the increase. 

When you run a business however, you can write off a lot of materials, equipment, software, etc.. that can help reduce your tax bill.If there is a cheat code to this, I am all ears!! 

Duplexes generally have high interest and begin in the $200-250k/door range.

Once you select a PMS, it's hard to make a switch later, so take some time with this decision but it will surely save you hours and hours of time in the long run since you can automate so many things with ease. 

If it were mine I would have them pay the full contractual rental amount, and then have them invoice me for the charges they run up.

@Mike Hern Hi Mike thank you for getting back to me. i did ask the person (a realtor who was at the auction who told me about that stuff after i had placed my bid) who ran the title search but they just wanted to make money it seemed cus when i went to ask them they said they dont know how to read it lol or tell me if i bid on a 1st loan or 2nd loan which was i even asked for it from her. how else can i know or should i run a title again thru a lawyer or title insurance company ?
