@Charity SkoreI just talked to first choice in Gorham and they said when I send the contract over to them they can have someone come up here

Sec. 1.469-5T(a) or alternatively the substantial service test Temp.

I’m sure I’m going to be criticised about my choices but that’s ok.I had to buy a commercial premises for an investor visa.

Whatever the situation, opt for longterm renters when the choice is available.

Your business, so your choice on how to handle cancellations.

I'd guess so - I got mine funded in Sept 2017- I had 3 choices from the lender -- 3 yr rate lock, then adjustable, (either 5 or 7 yr rate lock) then adjustable or fixed for the life of the loan (25 yrs)5% at that time was what they were willing to do for the 3yrs, 6.75% was what they were willing to do for fixed for the life of the loan - they were one of the larger SBA lenders Id presume and kept it in house.

Then run your profit projections and make a choice.

If your investments can't support the price of someone else doing the work then they may not have been the best choices for passive investments.If you are just starting out and are trying to maximize the cash flow to get established then I can understand that.Apartment complexes have a higher turnover.

The deal is almost in the purchase price.I used to work for institutional asset management and equities and alternative investments do have a place in your investment sphere but for me, real estate has been the only thing that allows me to "not work" when I don't want to.I do also take advantage of solo 401k which allow you to put 50k+ per individual tax deductible every year so I am still heavily invested in the market. 

Looking for some advice, alternative options and or ideas... thanks
