So if you are in a 30% combined tax bracket you get an additional $3K due to write offs.If it is a rental, you can write off the business expenses and the depreciation on the non land valuation. 

This is typically done 3x a year.Hire a company to deep clean the washing machine, drier, and dishwasher.Reimburse us for the combined 8 hours we have now spent on cleaning the home.Repaint the walls, at minimum in the basement.Prorate our rent for the days we are unable to be in the home due to the current issues and any repair time.Please let us know how you would like to proceed.Thank you,Sindy and Cary"You need a professional property manager!

@Jade FrankIt’s great that you’re considering combining travel nursing with real estate investing!

You combine the two. 

Phoenix contains a rare combination of elements that have created an outstanding market for distressed property investments, including the following:Cost Savings: Distressed properties are sold below their market value and enable investors to take hold of properties at a trifle compared to traditionally listed properties.Strong Market Fundamentals: Being among the fastest-growing cities in the country, Phoenix ensures a high demand in housing and rentals, hence good potential for resale or income from rentals.Value Creation Opportunities: Most distressed properties need renovations; thus, such situations present opportunities for investors to increase equity by adding value.Population and Economic Growth: Phoenix remains among those cities in the country which are attracting more and more residents and business; therefore, this presents good, long-term appreciation possibilities of property appreciation and income creation.Challenges to ConsiderWhile the rewards can be great, distressed property investment is not without its challenges.

The best combination in my opinion to have your real estate agent income in an S corp to reduce personal income tax (as long as it financially makes sense) and then buy real estate and cos segregate it and take bonus depreciation to offset against your income. 

We all don't care how much Apple profits on our iPhone... what really matters is the product or value we get or in this terms the ROI on our principal.The fees can be broken down in the three main fees (so you might have to combine some of the above fees under one of the categories below):Acquisition fee (paid % of the asset price) - normally 1-3%Asset management (paid % of the income the asset produces) - normally 1-3%Distribution or exit fee (paid % of the sold asset price) - normally 1-3%Development fees (this is present in development deals) - exampleNOTE: Just because these fees are high or the split structure has too much going to the GP does not disqualify it.

Different people expect a different combination of risk/reward.  

In Ohio, some banks and credit unions are known for flexibility with mixed-use or investment properties include:Civista Bank - Known in Ohio for its flexibility with investment properties, they may have options for mixed-use financing.Liberty Home Mortgage - Offers a range of loan products, including commercial options that might suit your situation.Huntington National Bank - Has experience in commercial lending and may offer portfolio loans that allow combining the properties.Asking for a price adjustment for buying the single-family home in cash could be feasible, especially if the seller needs flexibility for the divorce settlement.

Combined that can cost $50k+ which they may not want to pay nor their is the possibility they would not they pass the DD report.Nothing wrong with raising money in this fashion (FB or online ads), many do it and are great sponsors.
