When I'm not at work lately I've been remodelling the house I bought last month specifically planning to rent and trying to find anyone I can learn from and work with.

Do you own a primary residence, or have you been renting for the last 12 months?

- assuming 500hrs each, we have spent enough time this year to get to that but wondering if thats a red flag for IRS with high chance of getting audited (we travelled 7 times over the past year to work on the unit and spend at least a week each time excluding the time we spent managing the guests)- Lastly, our understanding is that each can take 50% of the final offset to our W2 assuming we prove material participation eligibility. 

After addressing that issue in the beginning of last year (and not getting compensated for them double dipping) now we have this fiasco to deal with.

I got the place so my daughter would have a place to live for her last 2 years of college. 

Over the last 3 months, I have had two issues with the pump impeller getting lodged with baby wipes. 

Last night was an awesome turnout!

$XX,XXX upfront and then $xxx per month or per year... whatever, the options are endless here on the agreement side and the additional benefit is there is NOTHING for you to upkeep because again the Tenant owns the structure, lastly if there is a default and your agreement allows it you may assess penalties to ensure it does not bring down your existing property's value, and beyond penalties if the default continues you can foreclose on the structure... the structure is your security. 

I did a 1031 exchange late last year and had to put 40% down on a STR in order for it to cash flow.My question to the BP family familiar with the Treasure Valley is are you experiencing the same thing or am I not seeing the right properties and price points?

This is since that last part varies a lot - like if you had demo or grading or a septic system to put in before you could start building the structure.Floors... we typically go for luxury vinyl plank vs either laminate or engineered wood.
