The good news is it’s simple math and online deal analysis and calculations make the math much easier and with a greater degree of accuracy

I do m2m cause it’s easier.

I read that scuppers are easier to maintain and are a cheaper way to drain flat roofs versus gutters or interior drains.  

You need to know your target cash flow and return rate and start looking at deals until a match comes up.

If your manager’s/contractors’/employees’ activity counts towards “activity”, then it is much easier to qualify as a business.2) One rental could be a business all on its own if it was not extremely passive3) Multiple rentals would generally qualify as a business4) Triple net lease properties probably do not constitute a businessBy looking at only Section 162 case law what would the new regulations change?

Put as much as you can in the reserve account so you can easier do anything necessary.Positive cash flow is more important than the location. 

I like the cashflow, and house hacking makes it a bit easier to manage.   

If the tenants understand WHY you are doing what you are doing, it will be easier for them to engage and grasp WHAT the goal is and HOW to get there.If a tenant has a bank account, it can be beneficial for receiving, saving and managing money, as well as for paying rent and utilities.

However, it would be easier if they moved out on their own, which will not happen at the current rental rate.

I agree that appreciation is stronger on residential, and easier to place tenants.
