I have been actively looking primarily in the Virgin Islands and Bahamas for properties that are ideally within the budget I would like.

When it comes to tenant screening, it's important to balance your right as a landlord to protect your property with compliance with Fair Housing laws and local regulations.

Yea it seemed like this was an owner occupied loan.

Recently, I have shifted my focus towards identifying property flipping opportunities in smaller markets in the SE, and I am enthusiastic about the prospect of forging new professional relationships and connections.

If we resided in a property for 20 months in the last 5 years, does the IRS consider a "partial" capital gains tax exemption?

I keep portable AC units for tenants to borrow, so are using one of those to cool the bedroom.I have at least 20 trees down at one property with land and they missed the house but landed on my storage building. 

When thinking about depreciation it's not about when you buy the property, it is when you "put it into service."

Not sure if you are looking to get into the PM business or just renting a property you own, but contracts is the only thing I would contact an attorney for.

It’s small stuff that’s compounded: first they had a non-functioning vehicle dropped at the back of the property after they totaled it.

I am new to self-managing, but I haven't dealt with any eviction at all through former property managers either.
