But I'm with you, I prefer cash flow at this point in my path.

I prefer to self manage STRs to optimize pricing and guest experience.

So I told his wife, I'll make a list for you guys to work on in case he gets bored again.Since then, I give preference to older blue collar guys, with families, rather than young MBA types, just finished collage, has impressive job titles in investment banking, but can't figure out how to tighten door knobs, or know shower curtain go inside the tub, not outside, so water won't leak downstairs.

Do you have tenants email maintenance requests or ways you prefer to manage those things?

If you don't have the backing of the court you may prefer to start down a different road and add the extra pet / charge for it.  

But if not, or if my tenant keeps bringing him over, I'll need to get them both out asap.A few extra details:- This is an inherited tenant on a month to month lease- The abuser was living with the victim but was not on the lease- Abuse happened on the property, victim was hospitalized, and abuser was arrested- Tenant is section 8Any advice would be greatly appreciated.From the outside looking in, it seems that you'd put your family in more danger if you start interacting with this person you view as dangerous and telling them you don't want them around.

Leverage REP status to use other losses against capital gains in the liquid assets of the company (invested in EFT's, etc)The policy for loss distribution would be:-All must be active (preferably material) participants to get deductions; hence the 20 or fewer so relationships can be maintained-Non-REP's can take up to $25k/y as PAL.

Which is what I prefer until I get my feet wet.

But, I spoke with another investor in the area that prefers short term, Airbnb rentals and is finding a lot of success doing that.

In general with house-hacking I'll always prefer small multi-families because it bakes diversification and efficiency into the purchase, giving you slightly more levers to pull and security in the investment.
