Here is a link to a Quick summary.WE had one of those shared lines in OLD PDX its tough the lines are decades old.. we just worked it out.. 

All expenses are way higher: it takes a TON of $$ to heat & cool a large house, property taxes are a killer, mortgage is higher, insurance is higher, landscaping / lawn care costs, flood insurance, etc etc.It’s also tough to book a large house at the last minute bc it takes large groups time to mobilize so you’re at a disadvantage with last minute bookings.

@Edward Kanive It will be very hard to prove to the IRS that you and your wife meet the standards that @Taylor L. listed above. 

It's likely that the agent who owns this property can prove with a zoning certificate that it has 3 legal dwelling units, though it would ultimately be up to the buyer's due diligence to prove such. 

I still think I'm going to have a tough 6 months ahead, but I am optimistic.

Or this is an expected question that should be asked every time until you build up a relationship of trust.It's one of those things, do I trust until someone gives me a reason not to, or do I not trust them until their track record proves that I can?

It proved to be successful but now screwed at the same time.

San Diego is a tough market for cash flow (initially) but adding units seems to be an effective way to overcome the rent ratio. 

I looked at few previous rentals in the same complex and both of them stayed in the market for less than 3 weeks.The whole idea to pay top $$ to the agency is to strategize rentals in the tough seasons like Nov, Dec and Jan and get the place rented even for lower.What's the big deal if they can find the renter in spring/summer when even an owner's average listing on Zillow can draw  a lot of tenants.Originally posted by @Jaysen Medhurst:I hear you, @Sachin Sharma.

I understand Denver is a pretty tough market and as such, will be reviewing opportunities adjacent and surrounding Denver.
