Moreover, the only people who will contact the owner are realtors given that they are fully aware of that setup, and then will try to convince you that is impossible for you to sell your house on your own.All other listing websites with any meaningful market share are more straightforward and simply do not allow fsbo listing altogether – at least they don’t play games by using fsbo listings as a tool to magnify realtor’s extortion scheme.It is also well established in our court system that any entity controlling more than 50% of the market characterizes a monopoly.

Based on the information in your profile, it seems likely that this is your one rental property although you mention in your profile that you also let out rooms in your own home.Out of your four options I think the worst is No. 4.

It’s still passive if you play your cards right?

@Tristan Bennett, DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans: 1.

I'm here because I don't understand and I'm coming in with assumptions based on my own taxes over the years and you've kind of put me down or made fun of me for being "surprised" at how the tax law works.  

Usually comes up the other way when they leave the state and turn their old home in to a rental and keep it registered as owner occupant.)It’s defiantly the reason I will never spend 183 days in MN and NV remains my home base.

Purchasing from overseas, I made my offer based on the advertised info and, believe it or not, did not uncover that 2 of the units were just 1b/ 1ba until after due diligence. 

Keep updating it as your knowledge base grows.  

Just trying to see best way to play the tax game.

I would look into a DSCR loan option it will require 15-25% down depending on the lender but it's based off the asset and if it debt services rather than based off the individual.
