Alex Murkes MA: nonresident with one MA K-1: form 8582 - bug in TurboTax Premier?
3 September 2025 | 7 replies
In your fact pattern ($300 Box 1 income, -$2,000 rental loss), the proper MA treatment would normally be:- Net zero current year taxable income in MA- ~$1,700 suspended passive loss carryforward to MASo if TurboTax is limiting your MA allowable loss to $15 because it’s blending in other states’ K-1s, that’s not consistent with how MA expects the form to be prepared.

Christian Bensch TOP 3 complaints or worries you see repeatedly with property management?
2 September 2025 | 12 replies
(I’m looking for patterns — not one-off edge cases.)Context: I work with international tenants, so many “usual suspects” are familiar to me already (e.g., rent laws/increases, insurance timelines, availability of licensed contructors/handyman´s, inspection protocols, and utilities/services like landscaping or pool).Because practices differ by country, I’m keen to understand the American owner/tenant perspective specifically — not from a place of not knowing, but to prepare well and align my processes with what US owners actually value.If you’re in Central Texas, even better, but any US experience helps.
Edward Segaar Tenant vacating process with a management company
4 September 2025 | 17 replies
Might be worth pushing back a bit and asking why they don’t at least get the word out ahead of time.If this is a one-off thing, maybe it's just how they handle transitions, but if it becomes a pattern, I’d definitely consider interviewing a few other PMs after the turnover just to see what else is out there.Hope the next tenant lines up quickly either way!

Use real listings to practice running numbers — you’ll start spotting patterns and build confidence fast.Mentorship doesn’t always mean paying thousands: Sometimes the best mentorship comes from adding value to someone further along the journey — even if it’s just asking smart questions and staying consistent.You’re right to be cautious — but don’t let that stop you from taking action with the right prep.

However, Schiff also claimed a condo in Burbank, California, as his primary residence, even receiving a $7,000 California homeowner's tax exemption.FHFA investigators and Fannie Mae’s financial crimes unit concluded Schiff showed "a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation" across five loans.
Tiffany Perry Tenant pays rent late
28 August 2025 | 9 replies
One thing I’d add is that if the late payment isn’t putting you in a financial bind, it might be worth viewing the late fee as a kind of “bonus rent” as long as the tenant stays consistent and doesn’t start slipping further.If the pattern is bothering you enough to consider changes, a structured late fee (like a flat fee plus daily charges) or even a rent increase with clear communication might help prompt a change.

Meanwhile, my carpenter can pick up stock laminate, already miter cut and install in 30 minutes.Pro-tip: we use relativley monochromatic patterns that don't try to hard to look like marble with a lot of "movement" - those are the patterns that look very fake.
