I am not a CPA so I would ask this question ahead of time, but to my understanding a regular investment property does not qualify as active income even if you are self managing.

I would clean it, prime it with high adhesion primer and apply "porch & floor" paint.

What about the ridges and starter courses, just regular shingles or special ones.Any water/freeze protection at the drip edge by both(???)

If your income is low, now may actually be a better time to sell off some Bitcoin, before regular income pushes you into higher tax brackets.

This is almost impossible for regular notes, excepting some types of non-performing paper, which has its own issues.I feel that, currently and continuing until things become predictable, that the safest way to do notes is to buy a property at fire sale pricing, raise the price to market or 10% above and create a seller financed note, which, after some seasoning, can currently be sold at a small discount. 

Something had to be wrong but the inspection came back clean and no capex deferred maintenance. 

Hi everyone, looking for a reputable cleaning service after STR guests depart my condo. 

My question is should I give some kind of Incentive to have this unit cleaned out by the 31st of January?

These are the deals I'm able to do pretty regularly in my area.
