I also treated studying like a full-time job.

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

We would like for the investment to be treated as active, of course.

@Ali Mol In a lease-to-own agreement, the $1,666 monthly credit should be treated as a liability (deferred credit) rather than rental income, as it is allocated toward the purchase price.

Previous landlord references on how they treated their previous property.

Does anyone know what I can do to treat it ?

.- Unrecaptured falls under section 1250 and is treated as ordinary gains and capped at 25%- My capital gain from appreciation and improvements under section 1231 was treated as a long term capital gain since I owned both assets over a year.Hope this helps.

It’s standard practice and an essential safeguard for landlords.Trust your instincts and treat this as a non-negotiable policy.

In all reality, if you apply your screening criteria equally, and treat people with the respect and dignity they deserve (no matter where your rent money comes from), it's not an issue. 

Fear about staying in DST though, as it sounds they will treat remaining DST investors worse than those in the REIT.
