How to choose tenants-

All with good credit scores and some with more substantiated income sources than others but no flags. We had listed with no pets preferred and hence priced it so, only reason being risk of repairs!

1: One couple (house contractor + interior designer, an infant) and a Corgi (<25 pounds)
2: One couple (founder, school job and an infant) and 2 small cats
3: One couple (founder and homemaker) with 6 yrs old
4: One couple (tech job, ER doctor) and a Labrador puppy

The first qualified person who applied is who you should go with. I would probably count the no pets as a qualification and go with 3.

1 month rent for pet deposit, did not specific breed or size. It's hard to find places that will accept larger dogs so that was my value prop. I wanted to meet the dog to make sure they were trained and well mannered. A few tenants had golden retrievers (large dog but well-trained).

Which one applied first?

I would go #1. A corgi seems pretty low risk and a contractor is likely to take care of minor things themselves rather than making you do it. I would write in the lease that no additional animals are allowed.

Fair point. Stay at home mom might be calling the landlord a lot more

If you have carpet avoid cats at all costs.

Option 3 probably will maintain your property the best. Option 1 next if the corgi is mature. Option 4 might have trouble house training a puppy if they’re both very busy people.

I vote #3 for sure.

I would avoid the 2 cats. Cat smell is impossible to get out.

Is this a single family home or a condo?

A lab puppy, while adorable, can chew up your entire home for fun.

Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Went into a multi family property 50/50 with a relative against my gut. Things are going horrible. Need to get out. Best options? Buy him out? He invested maybe 4-5K in time (demolition work) and 2K in cash. I’ve managed the whole thing for 9 months. 10% of gross rents (as a management fee) would be about the same (6-7K)). Bought at low in market just after COVID hit. I want to keep the building. Seems fair to give him his initial investment back + some additional money for market gains. Help!

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
