He's not an accredited investor so he can't deduct losses on personal income. 

My only suggestion with Zillow is to TRIPLE check the persons Identity (Have them show you their driver license during a showing), Call their last landlord, and call their employer.

HI Conner, I have a home gym in personal home and I love it! 

Just found out about the pros and cons of turnkey investing and what it is, would you personally go for a turn key companie to manage your properties or do you have a more efficient way of taking care of your investment while being out of state.

However, if you prefer to meet in person and not over zoom or some other digital means, that would be a consideration.

Also, I am sure there are many quality property managers out there, but unfortunately the pickling were slim in my particular sub market.

I would personally rent if it is temporary so you don't mix a personal and investment decisions.

I was confused about how to file taxes and separate tax deductibles from personal and business filing, as a H1B holder.

I personally believe that landlords can be great change agents in a community.  

They can be fun but also time wasters as well I have only personally bought off auction.com
