That's absolute insanity dude.1% is pretty standard in most markets.

Get a standard lease & assign a number to each of the rental rooms in your house, and add that room number to each individual lease.

That is our culture and overall mindset, our standard.

It just might not be the number to the important person internally that I call when I reach out to Super Plumbers.

Internal Revenue Code 453 aka DST NOT Delware BUT Deferred Sales Trust are a great way to avoid the warnings and everyone steering you towards 1031s during a rising market where you'll probably end up overpaying.But good luck finding someone with a track record of 453 DSTs.I'm looking/researching hard and you can start withbrett with capitalgainstaxsolutions.com on YouTubeHope this helps you save MILLIONS in taxesby providing wealth through TRUEpassive income :)

I don't mind working as an intern either, I honestly just don't know where to begin.

Since that was the case it wouldn't qualify for 1031 treatment.There's a reasonableness standard for calculating those expenses. 

Using my standard CoCs, Debt Service, ROIs, etc, I'm struggling with how to not have the numbers look amazing.

Operating agreement is an internal doc banks and companies that you work with will want to see.

Who is screening tenants and what are the standards?
