Not only do we have the federal CDC moratorium until march, 31 the state passed it's iwn set of unconstitutional rules:https://www.mass.gov/regulations/400-CMR-600-notices-to-quit-during-the-covid-19-state-of-emergencySo, now whenever you want to hive a notice to quit you have to report it to the state, give them an electronic copy and follow their procedures and firms.https://www.mass.gov/trial-court-rules/trial-court-emergency-administrative-order-20-13-trial-court-order-suspendingSuspends any eviction rules that are not consistent with court standing orders about evictionhttps://www.mass.gov/housing-court-rules/first-amended-housing-court-standing-order-6-20-temporary-modifications-toOutlines procedures for eviction cases in Housing Courthttps://www.mass.gov/districtmunicipal-court-rules/district-court-second-amended-standing-order-10-20-court-operationsOutlines procedures for eviction cases in District CourtIt seems like landlords are just becoming property managers for the state.

Not only because of the money but our property manager became not very responsive and a bit of a pain.

Big capital gains bills are painful, but is SF real estate reasonably expected to beat other options in the future?

Based on my understanding, these pots of money are treated differently in the US vs Canada.The CRA changed its administrative position a few years ago to treat US LLPs as corporations for Canadian tax purposes, such that distributions from such an entity to a Canadian resident taxpayer are likely to be characterized as dividends.https://agtax.ca/cras-taxation...

The Phantom is more robust, but also a bigger pain to carry around.There are potential legal issues if you are using a drone professionally.  

Uggghhh 16k yeah that’s painful.

@Michael Baum I could visualize everything as I read your post and I feel your pain.

It shouldn't be taken lightly.Adequate and appropriate liability insurance would be a general first step (which might include a general policy and an umbrella policy).Maybe an LLC makes sense, but you'll want to rope in your tax advisor to make sure you're keeping administrative costs as low as possible in the beginning.A good tax advisor will help you navigate business deductions surrounding the use of your property, as home daycare allocations are unique.

You:  Your honor, I am requesting that an intestate probate case be opened and that I be appointed as the Administrator of the estate.Judge:   And who are you as it relates to the decedent?

You can buy them going conventional where each property would be 20% down SFR and you would have two conventional loans that you could BRRR them both.Package loans have to be refinanced either together or you must separate them which can be a pain if you only need to BRRR one of them due to value, affordability, renter etc...
