Second property is the one we just paid off and we were under an ARM which wasn't bad but about every two years it was being sold to a new company and each company was very different in terms of customer service.3.)  

Demand is steep for contractors and trades most won't go out to a property unless you have it under contract or you are a repeat customer.

I can't find the link, but I think it was Poland.I'm not sure if he was reacting to his target customer base, or his own personal likes though.If the developer is a member here, maybe he can weigh in on it.Good Luck! 

Hello BP Community,I am currently 20 years old, still in college studying business management but have had an interest in real estate for several years now.

I use to surf in front of this home when in college, so when I got the call that it was available we made an offer.

While renovating this house I was working 20 hours a week, taking 18 credit hours at my local community college and the house was 2 hours away from me.

Has a ton of features, can generate a lot of great reports & they are super user friendly with an outstanding customer support group.

If the rental real estate activity has an average period of customer use of 7 days or less, or an average period of customer use of 30 days or less with substantial hotel like services provided, it is not a rental real estate activity under IRC Sec 469 and one can bypass the per se presumption and apply any of the material participation tests you previously cited for a passive/nonpassive determination.

It seems like a lot of the college housing are fairly expensive due to the rent specs on the properties.

There is not really any assessment of the quality of work or customer service, nor is there a reason to use them based on fair and reasonable pricing.
