If i rented out the other unit, I would have roughly $10,800 per month in all units.

My CPA is saying I cannot offset accelerated depreciation losses against my w2 income as I have a 2nd home loan, but I heard in Brandon Hall’s podcast that IRS has a different definition of a 2nd home than what is used for mortgage.PS: I think I need a better CPA.

Has anyone dealt with section 8 renters before and if so what are some red flags that I should keep an eye out for?

I will check them out.

I just finished updating a rental property where I was previously paying $990 for an annual ACV policy. 

I put up one of my properties for sale and I received a verbal offer that I liked but the agent is asking if would be willing to accept 20% and interest only financing for 2 years.

@Raphael RamosLending to someone is interest income just like interest income in your checking or savings account - it’s typically taxed at ordinary income ratesI am not sure I understand the question if it’s deductible?

I really wanted to keep these as rentals so I’m trying not to give up. 

I just picked up the book on investing in real estate with no (and low) money down.

If you have a small and/or basic unit I think it could be looked at as optional.
