The only caveat is maybe if you have property management set up that can handle it all, it becomes their problem to manage.I'm in the residential world, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Hi All,New to the forum so thought Id say hello.

If your wife becomes a Real Estate Professional, you could use the depreciation to offset your taxable income if the properties are LTRs.Overall, with depreciation, your property may not generate any income at all so it doesn't hurt being in your name.

If there was an issue, such as a fire, wouldn't you want all new stuff?

The first step is to make sure that you are marketing the property properly and on all platforms.

By all accounts they have been great tenants.

For reference, I had a renovation that we redid ALL plumbing from under foundation to all new kitchen and bath layouts.  

Hi all, Will be starting out as an investor mostly buy and hold.

I want the same for all of us.So, yeah, just a picture of shirts hanging up at the gym.

It all comes down to what you want to do ultimately.
