Start with a technique or strategy used successfully by KNOWLEDGABLE, EXPERIENCED investors on a rather limited basis (because it’s only OCCASIONALLY applicable2.

Or just interesting techniques that people have used at scale.

Yes, those expenses are deductible although the cell phone plan is a bit more complicated.

Layers of complicated docs and arrangements lead to... potential complications!  

If you're just starting out, it seems a bit overly complicated to me, but again, you have to do what is right for you and we are not privy to all of the relevant information on this forum that maybe these advisors may know for your particular situation. 

The thing is the process to buy, renovate and sell is not that complicated although the Internet gurus will make it seem mystical to most and sell their services to navigate through the wickets. 

To complicate matters, during renovation we found mold in the attic, directly above the current tenant’s bedroom area, and it seems fairly significant.

While analytics tools like RankBreeze and IntelliHost are great, I’ve found that even small tests.. like rotating photos or adjusting captions.. can reveal surprising trends.Your approach to CTR optimization is spot-on, Garrett, and I’m excited to hear how these techniques work for you.

Prorate the 2nd month or have the lease period run monthly from the day of move-in (which gets complicated with more than a couple of units so prorate the 2nd month’s rent).Add to the PM mistakes, clearly they placed a poor tenant.
