Has anyone invested in a tiny house and qualified for five times of the accelerated depreciation? 

The combination of rural, unique, and tiny (sub 400sqft) is going to make this hard to finance.

@Maya Jones great follow-up, and it’s definitely a tricky spot when dealing with inherited tenants and changing household dynamics.If someone is already living in the unit and you're trying to verify income as part of requalifying the household or adding or replacing tenants, it's reasonable to screen based on income and ability to pay, just be sure the same process applies to all adults being considered for tenancy, whether or not they have a Social Security number.As long as your rental criteria are applied consistently and you're not selectively enforcing them, you should be on solid ground.

But I actually wonder if these programs go away, after the initial pain, the long term result is likely to be positive - a great increase in the number of 2-parent households.

The opportunity lies in how we respond to it.Housing prices would need to drop 38%Median household income would need to rise 60%Mortgage rates would need to fall to 2.35%The only one of these likely to happen is the third one.

Our household makes about $500K per year.

These households have mission-critical, direct income producing, or government jobsMarket performance: Since 2015, our property segment has averaged 9% annual appreciation and 7% annual rent growth.Vacancy: Under 2%This is why I don’t recommend “buying a property.”

Start with a tiny win you can control: pick one neighborhood, one property type, and one rehab level you’ll touch, then run noise-to-numbers on 20 deals and make 2–3 offers this week.

But the spouse/partner isn’t screened by anyone, and that is where most landlords get burned.Here’s how most experienced MTR owners handle it, and what I’ve seen work best:Screen them as a household, not just the nurse.If two adults are living in your property, they’re both legally responsible for rent and for whatever happens inside the unit.

Our household makes about $XXK per year.
