I have to look off-market because inventory is extremely low here.

If you're considering new construction buy-and-hold properties in strong markets and prefer a more hands-off approach, it's worth exploring.

However, a recent case highlights the importance of thorough documentation and substantiation when claiming deductions, especially for unconventional items like recreational vehicles (RVs).In a curious attempt to write off $40,943, a business owner argued that their RV qualified as a legitimate business office.

Followed that same path since 2011 and it paid off big time. 

I remember stories in the 2009 era of people paying off duty law enforcement to stay in their homes and/or park the patrol vehicle in the drive way. 

If it's a row-house, you will need to notify your neighbors and get sign off, and I think you need at least 7 feet to make it a legal rental.  

If you have an older home and only own 1 side, you often have to get the connecting neighbors to sign off on the approval.

@Twannisha JacksonLet's talk about your concerns on paying off the mortgage and raising the rent for your inherited client.

I just started buying off-market properties for BRRR for myself. 

Mortgage - Over the course of 30 yrs your tenant pays off your mortgage.
