So yes, it would be fair to say that I'm a big fan of this approach :)Horses for courses, as they say.

Meaning they don't answer, they hang up in the middle of the call, or they don't say whether we can call them or not.Also, I want to take a hands-on approach for my first tenants to get a better understanding of the process rather than immediately outsourcing it.

I realize that each deal is widely varied so there is no way to have a one size fits all approach so I am more looking to understand the math and how it may relate to this potential occurrence. 

We charge $300 fee per animal but are now approaching the time for a new lease signing. 

@Kevin Tang I'm not an STR investor but from the outside looking in, seems like the market is approaching saturation. 

If yes - how should I approach my tenant with this?

However, if there were no visible signs of disease and the tree was somewhat maintained (in a typical/prudent manner), then you're going to have a really hard time pinning negligence on the tree owner or getting anywhere with that approach. 

Let me know if you want additional information regarding how I've approached buying in my name vs. an llc and I'd be happy to assist.

Now tax season approaches and I'm completely lost and nervous as to how I should file my taxes.For reference, each sfr is under $140k, and are located in the state of Arkansas.

My question is do I need to have a deal closed before I approach a lender to help refinance a property or can I talk to them about my plans (no deal yet) and see if they would be willing to help me refinance properties in the future?
