I write a market update every 3 - 6 months for SWFL.

When it comes to rentals, many landlords focus on updating the kitchen, but the bathroom is just as important.

Property update!

Quote from @Don Zuehlke: I have a property in South Carolina with a very loyal tenant who has verbally expressed a desire to stay for several years.

So if your husband stays in your current home and you move into a second home closer to work—and both homes are titled under your names and used personally—you may be able to deduct mortgage interest on both, within the applicable debt limits.For property taxes, you can also deduct property taxes paid on more than one residence.

If I have a good opportunity to buy a cash flowing section 8 property in Lorain should I or should I stay away.

As previously mentioned, stay away..

QBO and these 3rd party apps continuously being updated doesn't help either. 

I would exchange into either: - A smaller airbnb in the NC mountains (the idea of also using this myself is very appealing) or potentially beach (but insurance is a turn off here)  - A value-add around here where I can get it cheap but put in less than the ARV - A standard LTR around thats been updated and doesnt have major capex looming. 

I really appreciate you commenting on the bed/bath combo that rents well, as well as the modern, updated amenities that renters are seeking.
