I would just make sure to look at that carefully!

I worked out of the NetWorth Dallas office for 5 years before coming out to San Diego and still have many friends in that office so they should take good care of you.

If you don't need the money now who cares.

At least in the Seattle market, American Homes for Rent do not take good care of their landscaping. 

Libby,I have section 8 properties and if you take care of the tenants they will likely take care of you and be long term tenants.I would say to them I can't afford it right now but if you will give me 6 months I will upgrade the flooring and give you a few choices to pick from.

Igor Kalabukhov That sounds a lot like syndication and I would be careful pooling $ like that as it appears to break many SEC laws.

There is some benefit of HOA, but better on cashflow if not, and you take care of grounds yourself.

IRS goes by which place you spend the most time in, I'd imagine the banks would to (they're likely going to base it off intent vs IRS cares more because taxes).

I don't care about curb appeal or estimated growth as I don't plan to sell and trying to project 20 yrs out is not realistic.

The two best ways I’ve found to fatten the bottom line is via fees or reduced turnover or repair cost.Pet rent, lawn care fees, and things that breakdown due to tenant usage are my go to items.Number of bedrooms, extra features are only a selling point.
