My goal is to get into a house hack on a multi family duplex/Triplex in the near future.

I was wondering what is the best way to screen future tenants if I don't want to pay for a monthly subscription like tenant cloud or rentredi? 

I might be reaching back out to you both in the near future 

I don't know the numbers on your property, so I'll create a hypothetical:Assume your principal and interest on a $300k loan is $1,263.You're sitting on the potential to get $155k (tax free, btw), but the rate will be 7.5%, taking you're principal and interest to $2,100.Yes, it's $900/month more, but you have $155k of tax free money in the bank.

Looking forward to connecting sometime in the future.

Cleveland has a diverse real estate market with various opportunities, Cleveland is truly known for its strong cash flow potential. 

You can always refi in the future.  

For future years, we probably wouldn't meet the 500 hours test (though we still do participate a significant amount as we periodically re-stock supplies at the place, handle most maintenance issues due to shortage of workers in the town, and monitor sensors during guest stays - leak sensors/heat/stove).Specific Questions on Depreciation:Assuming that I have the qualifications for non-passive activity, I then have some questions on bonus depreciation and related stuff.5) It is my understanding that Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) bonus depreciation is probably not useful for me because I did most of the renovations prior to placing the property in-service (save for a few things).

I will reach out to my city and hopefully get that approved here in the near future. 

I am going to start a marketing campaign sending letters to potential sellers indicating that I would be interested in buying their home.
