Thank youStaton As long as it was advertised and available to rent you can deduct it.The only exception is if you had personal use above 14 days in that year.

But, simply the end of the contract term doesn't mean the tenant will be moving.

Rentometer has been completely wrong in terms of rents for my area. 

Money is good, consistently pull-in say $150-$200k although being extremely busy with very long hours.

Short term looks good to pay it off, but a look at the long term tells me…leave it in 401(k)!

Its a short term pain that ends with a long (not even to long) term profit from my experience. 

I was looking at Long Beach.

This looks like a long ago post but any chance you guys have a good condo-conversion spreadsheet you could share?

You could do a longer term mid-term, but still if it is single family, it's single family.

In fact, my dk plan for a long time has been "identify the property in foreclosure, DK 5 properties either side of that house as "a realtor in the area saying hi", then have a difference conversation with the owners in foreclosure, so it is targeted rather than needle in a haystack.
