BP’s team has let me know that I may not attach full third party market reports due to my business phone number which appears on the market reports, so I have parsed some of the market data from them to include in this post along with data from the MLS which was pulled on 4/17/2024. 

I'm also looking to also report it to credit bureaus so that it's on their rental history.

@Andrew Steffens what arbitrage method are you reporting as being dead and not profitable?

But now you also have a free and clear property with equity concentrated. 

So basically, an inspection free with the basic pump fee.

Determining whether the venture falls under a service or rental business hinges on the provision of substantial services; for instance, if a bed and breakfast service is offered, it must be reported on Schedule C, triggering a 15.3% self-employment tax.Moreover, personal use plays a crucial role in the classification of the property.

If your income is strong and taxes are accurately reported, you have a shot. 90% of investors write off more than they make so this upside down calculation is what causes the average person to qualify for HELOCs.

If the step looked good on a cursory inspection and was reported as such, gross might not work.Of course if there are obviously rotten deck boards, steps and railings, then any kind of injury could be classified as gross negligence.

The website is called The Offer Sheet and you can get a limited number of properties for free but to get access to the full list to pay $200 a month with the promise of 9-12 unique properties daily.
