I have rented every month of the year, and every holiday, and while I prefer no vacancies between Nov-Jan (the 3 hardest months in my area) I still have filled properties at that time.The times when I have relaxed any standard to fill a unit have made me wish I hadn't. 

Regular inspections and scheduled maintenance (like cleaning gutters, checking smoke detectors, and servicing HVAC) protect your investment.Treating it like a hobby, not a businessTrack income, expenses, and receipts properly.

Balancing maintenance, upgrades, and cash flow can be tricky.
What strategies or financial tools are you using to handle big repairs while keeping your properties profitable?

Is there anything to do to stop filling the QBI loss column and move them to losses that help?

Looking to buy our first multi-family deal.  I own a commercial construction company so can do the rehab in-house. Here's the breakdown.  Trying to see what I'm missing here.

I’d keep it for at least another year or two, even if you only break even by lowering rent and paying a lot for a couple turnovers now.

But you need a lot more than just a lease:- residential lease- rules & regs- lead disclosure- smoke detector notice- non-standard lease provisions- pet agreementThey have pdf's but I recommend the US letter size carbon copy paper (not the long legal size paper format) and wet sign.

They are more or less just going to be break even/cash flow just a tad right off the bat with the higher interest rates/prices of today, assuming your standard 20-25% down.

You can post 'updates' and 'events' (i.e. open houses) with photos, videos, and call to action links of your choice.As far as getting people to submit applications, if they are motivated, they will fill it out.

Usually this only happens if the appraiser wasn't able to see carbon monoxide/ smoke detectors or did not have access to a certain part of the building and stated it on the report..
