Find a contractor who can do the wood replacement and get a couple of quotes if you need chemical treatment or tenting of the property.

It might be irrelevant anyway, since your LLC is most likely going to have the same tax treatment as an S Corp anyway....Ask a CPA.

The second is the treatment of expenses while it wasn't occupied at all; you state that it was "ready to rent" but then made some repairs and maintenance - those repairs and maintenance would definitely be expenses when occupied by a tenant, but might have to be added to the basis (if the IRS doesn't agree with your interpretation of "ready to rent").

Trees, shrubs and plants can add visual appeal and even provide shade which makes the property more valuable.

Physically mailing these letters that include visual imagery can resonate better than being lost in email inboxes.Having a folder of saved templates for common forms such as leases, renewals, rent increases, inherited tenants, move in/move out reports, lead paint disclosures, etc. help expedite preparing these as they are usually the same few forms that are continually repeated.Protest property taxes yearly.

My philosophy is that repeat clients should get special treatment on the listing side.Feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to elaborate.

I thought I would be "kind" and let him stay until his treatment was over in 6 to 9 months.

Hi everyone, wanted to share with you a great way to tap into the equity built from your ADU.The problem today: most appraisers used by traditional lenders would give ADU square footage a second-class treatment than the main house (as some of your mentioned above) since there aren't that many comps and they're trying to be conservative.However, you can consider taking out a HELOC/doing cash-out refi through Figure.com (HELOC up to $250k, Cash-out refi up to $1M).

I will be a happy man if you negotiate this down :) Finally I have $100 per month (average) in expenses for monthly salt water treatment of the well and pumping out septic every 3 years.
