As far as tax breaks go - if by break you mean deduction, yes.

@Kenneth Garrett @John UnderwoodAs far as the increased ranking could you place a percentage of increased revenue on that accomplishment?

So just to clarify if I have $3000 in origination fees from a hard money lender in November of 2020 from a property that is in service as of November 2020 and that's a 1 year loan that has not yet been refinanced, as far as the IRS is concerned, do I take that $3000 deduction in 2020 or 2021 after I refinance?

Having said that however, if it is written within the HOA convenient you're not to have rentals under 30 days -I'm not sure what legal grounds you would have to fight this, unless you've gotten a waiver or something in writing from the president maybe- but again, that should have been voted on maybe and it seems like you might not have 'documentation' to proceed with this.As far as the house sitting vacant - it seems like it might be best then to get full time renters in place and have a more stable monthly income coming in that is in conjunction with the HOA covenants. 

Just reduce the other partner's percentage.What else is the other partner going to contribute as far as time and/or responsibility to the partnership?

Do you recommend combing through the list to find properties that meet my interests such as: Year built, garages, single story, how the home looks as far as condition, then mailing those targeted people?

As far as staying the same dates, you just work it out with the other owners.There is often a contract that lays out the process.

It is so resourceful.

As far as your other concerns, maybe you should ask the town for the permit history. 

But, it's a needle in a haystack that's easy to overlook if your search area is so expansive.
