Landlords can also evict tenants for illegal activity with a seven-day notice.

The gist of it is that when you dispose of your entire interest in a passive activity in a fully taxable (as opposed to a tax-deferred) transaction to a non-related party, i.e., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted. 

I had thought about just doing LTR but maybe yeah I want to be more active in managing them myself, taking more risk, and go for the STR/MTR. 

My bookkeeping practice pays me active income, so my priority is equity.For debt loans, you will see 10-15% annualized, depending on your experience as an operator.

If you qualify, you can use passive losses, like those from depreciation, to offset your active income.

I have active leads with wholesalers and other agents, but quite frankly their deals are not good.

Quote from @Christine Gordon: Quote from @Roi Azoulay: This firm is known to advertise fake distressed properties all over NY and reach out the the actual owner w/attempt to get listing agreement, Unfortunately they are still active and keep doing this for many years and no other website/mls does anything about it. 

Too few investors are actively focused on stabilizing and upgrading their current assets in favor of scaling too quickly.

ask them for recent permit pulls in the county and go look them up to verify activity. you can also call the local building department to verify their license and recent activity. if you don't see any run for the hills.
