That's not normal at all, those are anomalous events that may pop up regularly in 2026 earnings.

Look for VA Realtors, regular ones don't have a clue when it comes to Subto VA Loans

California taxes can go up to 13.3%, so you want someone who understands how rental income, depreciation, retirement contributions, and long-term planning all work together.I’d also ask whether they regularly coordinate with CPAs, because tax strategy is a big part of protecting what you build here.

It still creates some headaches for me.I have toyed with the idea of using a combination of lockboxes (the ones that change to combo every time) and security cameras to allow limited showings on some days.

I have a secure well paying job that'll mainly fund my real estate endeavors, I been studying real estate and I see how building a strong team is key to long-term success, especially if done right at a young age.

Our company is the first to achieve patent protection for smart locks + scattered-site management + self-guided showings + access management in one secure ecosystem.

Hello all,I purchased a 4BR/2BA SFR in December in North Charleston and am house hacking by renting the bedrooms individually.Location: 4 minutes from Bosch, 15 minutes from Boeing, Joint Base, and the airport.Initial pricing: $875 per bedroom / $925 for FROG
Current pricing: $850 / $900 + $100 first month incentiveMarketing channels: Apartments.com, Zillow, Facebook, Roomies
Lead flow: ~3–4 inquiries per week at peakI’ve upgraded photos (furnished + lighting), improved description, enhanced curb appeal, and contacted local employers and Trident Tech.I haven’t secured a tenant yet.For those who’ve successfully rented by the room in shared homes:- What has made the biggest difference in converting leads to signed tenants?

A few things to ask any service before signing: Do they rotate DIDs regularly, and how many numbers per campaign?

You’ll be able to deduct up to $25k off regular income under $100k.

Brittany, welcome to the BP community and congratulations on securing your first LTR.
