Hey @Andrew Graham,I would ask your relator to help you with your numbers you use for vacancy in the area, maintenance can vary by house depending on what items that need upkeep, the year the house was built and so on.

Plus, less risky since the space has no tenants now and although I'm confident on the business model enough to believe I will at least break even each month and still enjoy the investment ROI and tax savings, there's always the risk that it won't do better than that or that I won't even be able to generate the break even revenue. 

The costs in TurboTenant are the background checks a new tenant would have during the screening process, which the prospective tenant pays for as well as a small charge to have Digital signatures on documents that I store online (it's $9 and also charged to the tenant).Beyond that, I use google docs (mostly sheets) for my underwriting/review process.The only item I pay for is Quicken, which has a yearly fee now.  

Maybe they can track down the 'rogue deposits' grouped but itemized per tenant in an e-mail ahead of time.

And with a good chance that I could be in a higher tax bracket in the year that I sell, it seems like I could actually lose money by taking the accelerated depreciation.Alternatively, could I write it off as sold for $0 (or essentially given away), since it wasn't listed in the contract, and the buyer will not likely be categorizing it as a separate item on their end?

2) Is this a successful tool/business model for getting leads assuming good mailing lists or do they turn people off like they do me?

That combined with a commitment to my business model, which includes only moving forward on deals that align with my purchase formula, should be enough.

I asked when she wanted to coordinate time to have tenants items removed from the condo.

I am looking to buy a home too but my revenue model is a little bit different and I was hoping for a higher cash flow.

I have narrowed down my plan to focus on multi family properties with a large amount of my interest set on using the BRRRR model.
