@Ben M Cast iron or porcelain on metal tubs dont really stain...the surface can get damaged by abrasive cleaners or have heavy hard water deposits.

She wrote the check for 104k total, I brought the deal by always staying on top of the auctions, I handled the eviction process of the non-paying previous tenants, coordinated and managed the rehab, and will manage the rental for a 50/50 split of all cash flow and any equity earned beyond her 104k investment.

If you can't collect interest then put it in a non interest bearing account.

I have a non-residential rental property that I leased out last year and I am filling out Form 4562 for figuring out MACRS depreciation(39 years MM, SL). 

If using a lender this is a non issue.

The problem I have is I don't have much money to contribute yet, and I'm not sure how I can contribute time when my experience is non-existent.

Non-members can come to any AZREIA meeting by paying a guest fee of $20: that applies to all new investor subgroup meetups (the first Tuesday) as well as any other meeting held by AZREIA, including the "main" meeting (the second Tuesday).You do NOT need to be a member to come to a meeting.

Investing from overseas as a non-resident, how do I file for a withholding tax reduction and which taxes am I looking at here?

1  Setup Self Directed IRA Account and fund it.2  Buy property $100,000 with funds from the SDIRA.3  Collect rents, pay expenses, manage property through SDIRA.Questions:  Can the IRA take out a (non-recourse) loan against the property?

Usually when that happens the tenant is late on their bills and the shutoff is "involuntary" for non-payment.
