On more than one occasion I’ve talked with a person or two that was offering real estate coaching and I found out very quickly that either it was not what they were advertising or they was not far enough along to be coaching anyone except maybe a complete newbie or maybe it wasn’t the strategy for me.Anyway, that’s my ramble for this morning.

Personal Property coverage- furniture, lawnmowers, signage, etc. 

You must report rental income on Schedule E and can deduct rental expenses like repairs, maintenance, property taxes, mortgage interest (allocated between personal and rental use), and depreciation for the rented portion.

No Personal Use: You or family members cannot live in or personally use the property.2.

When structuring a deal, what might work for one person, may not work for the other.

None of this has anything to do with your personal tax return.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

i would never tell a random person on the internet where they should live. 

Instead, these funds were allegedly diverted to finance other real estate transactions and for personal use by Wettengel and co-defendant Tanya Muro.

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress).
