I gave her a virtual tour of the property via Facetime tonight and asked her if she was ready for a Minnesota winter, and she told me she's actually from Minnesota and moving back home. 

In short, if I invest $100k on a new property for long term rental, I want to make sure that I can position the $100k fully as a business loss in 2024 reducing  my total taxable income by $100k. 

If possible, I would love to get a seasoned property manager's opinion on my most liked properties in terms of rental potential, etc.

I would like to continue to self-manage this property, but I am open to a management company.

You can create a second lien against same property, and substitute it for a down payment on the property you want to buy.  

It's very user friendly and makes diy property management easy.

@Michael K. do you have the property yet?

there are 2 liens already on the property - bank and a private lender.What are other recourses1.

Live in one unit , rent out other unit and accessory unit, mortgage on the property would be about $6800, rental income would be : $3000 from additional unit , and $1500 from accessory unit and I would be occupying one unit , leaving me at negative $2300 per month .

Around $45,000 in repairs.By late January to early February, we had the property back on the market.
