As Michael mentioned, there are some unique opportunities where seasonal rentals can bring $2,000 - $5,000 a month but that is for four months and many of those are in HOAs and rules limit the number of rentals per year, have a high carrying cost, and it is difficult to find a renter who only wants 7-8 months in the off-season, even with a reduced rate.If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Charging lower rent does not reduce your expenses and charging higher rent will usually skew the vacancy factor.

Basically, it's sugar and borax... doesn't kill immediately, so they take it back to the nest and feed it to the queen.I have taken out nests that must have had ants numbering in the hundreds of thousands (Argentine ants with linked colonies.

The only possible solutions that I've come up with is to: #1 Buy a house with an oversized lot, flip the house and subdivide the lot in hopes of bringing your land costs to zero #2 Buy a small subdivision and divide in an effort to further reduce land costs #3 Reduce minimum profit even lower (unacceptable)#4 Buy materials in extreme bulk to receive deep discounts.

And you use it to reduce the gain when you sell.If you have multiple rentals and you sell one, you can use all the carry forward losses from all properties against the gain on that one sale.I do agree there are other strategies besides immediate cash flow from a rental.

And yes some people do feel like they can pick and choose parts of a bid, which sometimes is the case but not always.I did give itemized bids still so they could see why I was charging what I was, if they didn't like it we can discuss or I could just have said take it or leave it or adjusted my number accordingly for the reduced amount of overall work I was going to receive.

The Republicans have a plan to reduce the deficit?

Maybe the easy fix would be to let the tenant stay at seriously reduced rent if she loses her voucher.

Buyers pay 3rd-party short sale negotiator fees all the time but that is for services rendered which is allowed by RESPA, but I can't see how a wholesaler could claim a service rendered.I guess I could establish a relationship so that if the non-licensed wholesaler buys a property and flips it, I would agree to list it at a very reduced commission in repayment for a prior lead.

Is it to reduce income taxes?
