While rates were near all time lows, we bought a home that we could reside in and rent out the backyard detached living garage space.

I'm looking seriously at expanding my REI business include buying, fixing and flipping REO properties!

Hi all,I’m trying to create some anonymity between me and the tenants.

Better to own a few quality properties than a bunch of crapboxes that end up damaged and vacant and eventually lose money.

I even have a friend who received an unfounded complaint from a neighbor (the neighbor was just against STRs, no events/parties that occurred), and now their property is temporarily banned/under review, regardless of them abiding by all rules.

In 2025, once you move out and rent the entire property, you can start depreciating the whole house.

We paid him in installments and we're at our final stopof rebuilding our entire kitchen and finishing up small details like filling upnail holes, bathroom vanity installs and etc.

For example, laminate and tape it to the back of each bedroom door, inside the upper cabinet closest to the refrigerator, in the laundry room, etc.Finally, inspect and enforce.

@Gary R UrenIf the property is zoned for only one home you most likely will not be able to do thisPossibly it could be 123 main st unit a vs b but that is a post office issue and good luck dealing with the post office on this issueI would talk to them and put to mailboxes in the front and see if they can separate it by A and B unit

Get a list of recent inspections and permits to make sure the new roof and such were done right.Check with police if any reports for the property.What's included in the seller's expenses?
