No matter where you choose to move, you are perfectly set up (if the money works) to house hack with your wife in one unit of a two-family and then to mid-term rent the other unit because of your medical connections.

The estoppel is a form filled out by the tenant, then confirmed by the Landlord, and then accepted by the Buyer.

I then needed to find a tenant/buyer. 

In Texas I then send them to collections.

Until then, the s-corp doesn't apply.

That's one way to do it, and if that works for you then do that. 

You'd put all the revenue from the properties first then you'd put all the expenses associated directly with the properties after that CoGS(cost of goods sold).

I don't ever see anyone talking about this, is it cause no one owns their duplex for over 30 years, they don't do a 30 year mortgage, they rent a lot more then the mortgage payment???

Bham was good to start to buying rentals for beginning investors.Now, Huntsville may have been smaller in terms of population back then, but things have drastically changed.

If you seriously want to clean this up and are willing to take a risk, I would absolutely switch things into my name and begin taking care of the property as my own...it takes up to 10 years, but if you'd be willing to start caring for the property and were able to at least rent as a break even, pay taxes etc, then it's no big loss if the owner came back and stopped your claim.
