But then again I don't know what market you are referring to and your contract law.

@Christian Cummings Here is a link to the state contracts that @Chris Mason was referring to:https://oklahoma.gov/orec/cont...

You can cross reference it with high equity and/or absentee owners too and that would make your driving more effective. 

Always ask for references before testing a new PM.

That equity you refer to as a "bonus" is your answer. 

I'm gonna look into it here, once all the smoke settles.And lastly, the "short version" just referred to the detail in the post, I've posted on BP before and been told I left out crucial things such as details with numbers for someone to determine if a deal made sense financially or not so I originally typed up a whole manuscript, lol.

Now she gets any of my on market business and all the references of anyone I know looking to buy a house as an investment or to live in.My sisters realtor impressed me by showing how he had experience house hacking himself, and helping various others successfully househack in the Denver market(where my sister is).

Also, I would be interested in this company you are referring to. 

@John MatarazzoI assume you’re referring to Schedule E where rental property income and expenses are reported.The short answer is yes you still report it if you’re claiming the FEIE and foreign tax credit as you’re taxed on your worldwide income in the US, which includes the rental property income or loss (which is subject to the passive loss rules in most cases).

I have a list of lawyers and CPAs that I can refer you to in Ohio
