I've been hearing advertisements frequently on podcasts, but I feel a bit confused and would appreciate any assistance you can provide. 

@Annabelle A.

I purchased a property in Western New York that includes a small 1,200 sq. ft. local Post Office. 

It's been a huge help.

I own a duplex in Cincinnati, rented out to section 8 tenants.

I hire a property manager and I have never in 10+ years of having a PM had a tenant reach out to me, if they got upset or had a complaint they dealt with the property manager.

I am moving into a bigger home for me and my family and have decided to keep our current residence as a rental.

My question is, if we take a cash out refinance from one property and pay off a second property; by virtue of interest tracing rules is the interest deductible on the second property.The reason I want to do this is because it improves on the title/closing costs for the one property while still leveraging the highest value property.

Years ago, I could file claims for small, even minimal, damages on my rental properties, like a few fence pieces blown off during a storm.

Just get a quality camera.
