This allowed me to pull out just over $90,000.

Most people who invest in real estate have a 9-5 job that allows them to get mortgages to buy rentals.Can you find a job that pays more that may be related to real estate?

They would allow you to actually purchase more depreciation to write off. 

So even if you're allowed to charge or get paid a higher amount, you the tenant may have to come out of pocket for the difference (assuming their rent hasn't changed in a while). 

Since im OOS i think it could be helpfulLease agreements allow inspections with notice, or access to the unit in an emergency, like a neighbor reporting a water leak, or a gas smell.

.-- Or, because Westminster allow for non-owner occupied short-term rentals, you rent the whole house for around $4500-$5500 gross monthly rent.Numbers aren't perfect (unless you do the STR), but you own a home that someone else is paying the majority of.

I would use a three year option period allowing the potential buyer to fix their credit, established time on their job, and demonstrate a good payment history. 

This will allow you to get a higher amount of cash flow.

All these CRMs are REI specific CRMs:RealHound, Commercial Real Estate SoftwareClientLook, CRM for commercial real estate brokers, investors, ownersAPTO (Salesforce front-end) is a full-blown commercial real estate brokerage app.Industry-specific CRM there is low competition and they usually do not allow data export.But among general CRM software, there is a lot of competition.

Personally, as a matter of practicality, since they are allowable expenses I THINK the only issue the irs could take is just that its reported wrong, and you'd just apply it the way they want.
