I would think most landlords, who choose to be landlords in very Tenant friendly San Francisco, would pony up the 5.2% knowing that the rate has gone up and down throughout time, unless they want to run the risk of their tenant's finding out and called out as being a bad landlord, being taken on by the very helpful San Francisco Tenants Union or taken to Small Claims Court.Maybe there is a silver lining in California's recent change in security deposits that limit it to one months rent when it used to be up to 2 month's rent for unfurnished units and up to 3x for furnished units.By the way, I took a look at your Company, https://www.getwhale.co/  Since your firm is only offering 4.2%, were you trying to market in San Fran before discovering the Rent Board rate?

I handled homestead claims more than once.

They installed bidets without my permission and created plumbing issues so I had to pay for a plumber to come out several times, I've had to replace a frontdoor knob and deadbolt last month even after we rekeyed the home prior to them moving in, the garbage disposal blades were jammed so had to call a handyman, repaired a broken window which my property manager claims was broken prior to them moving in even though the repair was made 3 months after they moved in.

On the other hand you can claim benefits of depreciation and other deductions.

Until now, I had a great credit score, but I'm concerned that my increased debt might affect my ability to obtain a HELOC or a Home Equity Loan.A lender approached me, claiming they could help me secure a HELOC, but the encounter felt coincidental, making me feel vulnerable.

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate wouldn't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.

Or does the seller claim that you breached the contract in some way allowing them to terminate it?

@Yi Chu,The key here is that it is not "you" who is investing in the multifamily deal but rather a Roth IRA; therefore, you can not claim any tax benefits personally.

Cop claims we were speeding and reckless driving.
