Right now, it seems I am in a research and education phase.

I don't need to be on site supervising standard finish work, and unless I missed something in the demo phase (Which happens rarely), by the time the lockout crew gets done the house should be done with very little or no punch out.

Military?

It was a phase I went through, when I was having gas disconnection headaches with units.

(Is there any money transferred in this contract phase?)

Although I have a few properties with carpet, I am phasing it out.

Silly question but I just cannot remember the answer:Regarding this passive loss allowance that gets phased out @ 150k of w-2 income If for ease of example I make 150k of W-2 income but I contribute 15k to my company 401k does this give me the AGI income of 135k which would qualify me for a small passive loss deduction in said tax year, OR is it based on your income before any of these types ofo deductions?

I am also active military, and it is always nice to see other military investors.

From a tax deduction standpoint, I believe that mortgage interest on a taxpayer's residence phases out after a certain income level is reached.

One thing to consider, though it probably wouldn't be weekly, but perhaps pretty short-term is, do you have any major military bases near you?
