As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

I think I'm a bit of an oddity in that I've been researching personal finance and real estate for years (still nowhere near an expert), but have never taken the step to reach out on forums to like-minded peers.

Not a single vacancy in entire subdivision.  

Our personal  house had previous work done but the piers were poorly done, and we noticed dry wall cracks and tile floor "separation"  about 2 years back.   

Hi Chris,I own a protfolio of single family and duplexes in Valdosta and surrounding counties. 

If the IRA fails to pay property taxes or insurance bills - you are then personally responsible, which would be a violation of the IRS rules. 

Here is why there are no responses to your question: it's tricky.Prior to the 2018 tax reform, there was a deduction for personal moving expenses.

You will need to allocate the expenses between the personal and rental portions of the house.

Also, I would personally get rid of the dishwasher as well, 1 less liability to worry about.

Could it be rented by the room rather than to a single tenant?
