Ours was an occasional rain issue in one corner and also a bit of an uneven floor. 

Is the issue your DTI or is the issue that it is a second FHA purchase within 100 miles of your current primary? 

With some of the CapEx issues/concerns that came up during the inspection/prep work for construction, we delayed some of the work when we should have just addressed them all ahead of time.

It's pointless and only causes issues.

Given the attic issue and throwing in the water issue (which will continue to be a problem) I'd just scrape and start over and do it right this time.

I am seeking guidance on how I should address this turnover issue. 

We actually have the option to STR on a few of our properties and decline to do so because we make more money than an LTR on our medium-term rental with a lot less work than an STR.The pros to medium-term rentals: high occupancy rate, no local regulation issues if you are 30+ days, elevated rents, more and more people are staying longer, often the midterm rental tenant pool is professional. 

I think this makes everything cleaner for taxes, documenting historic rental payments, and legal issues that may arise due to the barter, etc.  

Can we deduct the office as a business expense since its sole purpose is working, or would splitting the use between a W2 job and rentals create an issue?
