So I'm thinking about moving back into my rental property instead of renting another place so that I can move back to Portland and hopefully start a new career.My question: How long do I need to rent out my property after these upgrades and other maintenance work to be able to take them as a deduction on my taxes before I can move in for 6-12 months?  

Buyers consistently received bad service from selling agent such as late communication, late delivery of required documents such as lease agreements required for loan/bank (2 weeks late for 2 of the 3 lease agreements with no tenant/owner signature and haven't received 3rd lease agreement) as well as selling agent did not give notification to 2 of the 3 tenants for loan appraisal so appraiser had to come twice to property, all to which has delayed buyer's loan.

Fully leveraged is fine, but make sure that the property you're buying cashflow well enough to cover the servicing of all your debts. 

Tyler, thank you for your service.  

I'm looking for a one-time cleaning service in Ontario.

I like to estimate 5% for repairs and maintenance.

Hello, I'm currently a service member of the US Army and I'm looking into investing in real estate in the Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Miami Lakes and Hialeah area.  

Lease option teant/buyers are willing to pay a bit more for this service.

Good luck on your endeavors and thank you for your service!

I've heard that some seasonal mobile home parks shut off service to the entire park for the winter.
