My question is - how do I prove in the time log that I performed a particular activity?   

I would assume the actuals are not actual because it's showing 100% occupied for all 12 months.Capital improvements fall below NOI, and do not affect property value.And I think you need to have some type of debt to calculate a purchase priceGino

How is it working out? 

I saw a prior post where you mentioned having a STR in Texas.you want to have a conversation with your accountant to see if it can be treated as an active property instead of passive.If it can be, then there is a potential opportunity to offset the losses against other forms of income such as wages, interest and dividends.

Best of luck as you start your investing journey

It was something I has always talked about and had dreams on doing.

You can shoot me a DM to chat, I do a lot of work in the SoCal area.. 

Not an attorney, but working in tax for several years and have seen people do both.

"What right do you have to do this?"  

I am assuming this is the same person.I am trying to sell the property as soon as possible, however securing the property seems like a MUST (regardless of whether I finish the renovation or sell as-is).
