Other than the tenant loosing the hardware to secure their own flat panel, do you see any issues with a permanent flat panel mount in a rental of this type?

Would it be worth it to just buy a gas dryer and keep it in the house permanently in this situation in order to entice people to rent?

Someday rates will rise and permanent financing will be very valuable.

For me the end goal is to build a portfolio of passive income that will enable me to permanently depart the rat race and do what I love without feeling any heartburn.

Bc It was live in flip and staged.Commercial retail: fell into it, learn on the flySite revision for commercial : work in progress... on the fly...Always learning and ppl love to "teach" You just need to do your own due diligence.And DONT FALL IN LOVE with property/deal.My worst deal is when I fell in love, current home but I let myself bc this is permanent home (fingers crossed)

Well, I did not use an accountant and I didn't keep up with the cash expenses well because I thought it would be my personal residence so I would be exempt from the cap gains anyway.I didn't repay it the first year as it was still technically my primary residence (I was living out of town in a hotel, so this house was more of a permanent residence for me than anywhere else, even if I wasn't fully moved in).

I strictly forbid them from any self-repairs or permanent modifications to the property too in my lease.

Their interest would be more in capital preservation and green cards, namely the EB-5 program (google it), that will give temporary to permanent legal status for foreign investors that pony-up 500k to 1mil a pop to invest in any US-based projects.

Dave Van Horn,Love that note about permanent life insurance!

You report and pay taxes exactly the same way in a rental, regardless of whether it's held in your personal name or in an LLC.The issue of passive losses being locked up (they are not permanently lost) for high wage earners is difficult to get around unless you can qualify as a real estate professional (which is devilishly difficult to do).
