So we have a single fam primary home we bought in 2020... its on the lake, has a creek and forests in the back, pool, etc.

For instance, I personally find Zillow applications pretty lacking because they don’t pull the kind of comprehensive info we need to make informed decisions.It’s also important to remember that tenant screening isn’t always black and white.

Below is a list of a few low Maintenace plants you could look up and decide on: Cheap Low maintenance plants:Hostas-thrive in shade, hard to kill Daylilies - very low Maintenace and colorful Lavender - smells amazing and natural bug repellent Boxwoods- evergreen, easy to trim and classic Black-eyed Susans -bright, cheerful, low effort Sedums - drought tolerant and looks clean all year- round Include a small patch of open soil if you want to offer tenants the option to garden, gives them flexibility without locking you into upkeep Also, Mulch is your best friend, its cheap, neat, and help control weeds while keeping the yard looking fresh.

If you invested $50k or $100k would that $10k or $20k be better investing it in a lower risk asset or continue to take the gamble of red vs black?

But out of curiosity I asked a few of my lenders and one of them said they would accept that version of IRS confirmation for a conventional loan, as long the borrowers name was listed (in the blacked out area I assume). 

I hear from a lot of would be house hackers who do not understand that the paying for the whole mortgage and generating cash flow with today's pricing, rates with a low down payment is just not possible and keep renting. but, that is missing the forest for the trees.

Also black out curtains, and white noise machines, like most MTRs are good.You likely won't see one night or one week stays, most flight attendants have a home-base airport, sometimes they live near the home base airport, sometimes they "commute" and have to fly to their home base airport.

Camelot Forest, Greenwood Acres, Lake Harmony Estates, Split Rock and Penn Estates are some of the places that do.

Yet another reason, (albeit not in the top three) why all rental property should be in an LLC with a wife or child as a partner (even .1%) so as to file the Form 1065.Number 1 is liability protection, Number 2 is privacy, Number 3 is ease of transfer for estate planning, Number 4 is possible sale of the LLC to conceal sales price (also called drop and swap), Number 5 is having a single entity for financial reporting, Number 6 is brand identity.

If something is not all white doesn’t mean it’s all black.
