Tools like rentometer.com can be very useful (I use it every time I want to analyze a potential buy & hold here).

I have trucks/tools/supplies etc that I have been including as expenses on my contracting business in the past, but considering that I don’t expect to be reporting any business income, if I filed taxes the way I have been I don’t think the IRS would see my business as operating to produce a profit. 

I understand that it is a gamble and that if I use all  the right tools and do my homework, I will minimize my risk and will be successful.

Possibly local call centers or maintenance centers could help with this too.Additionally, if you're looking for a couple of podcasts to listen to you can start with A) https://doorgrow.com/category/podcast/B) https://billcaskey.com/category/the-2x-podcast/Just some cool stuff in here to help you start looking at modern tools and practices.

People don't like paying for discovery fees just to find out whether you do, or do not, own the property in question - and they would need to pay in order to get past the attorney-client privilege that you have when an attorney signs the public document.An additional benefit is that it is considered an estate planning tool, so when you decide to pull your estate plan together it will be much easier.
