I am looking into doing this as well. We have land and we want to get a camper to park on it for Airbnb. We have several friends that make pretty decent income in our area doing this as we are a summer tourist travel spot. I have some questions about how to write off the purchase and expenses for taxes. Do you have any insight into that? Thanks for your time!

Hey all, we are wanting to purchase a camper to use as an Airbnb on our property. Does anyone mind sharing what they have done regarding taxes? How can we write off the purchase of the camper and it’s use? Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for your thoughts and advice, I so appreciate it!

Hey all,

We are building our first spec homes (a set of townhomes) but we would like to sell them without a realtor to make them worth our while. What is the best way to go about doing this? I'm not asking for paperwork needs, I am more thinking along the lines of how the deal will work. We would like to have buyers lined up before the completion of the townhomes but I am unsure of a few things:

1. will the buyer be able to get a loan to purchase an incomplete townhome? Would they be able to get a construction loan? or will we have to wait to finalize a sale until after the townhomes are completed? 

2. What would be an appropriate amount of money to ask for earnest money? Can it be non-refundable? I don't want someone to waste our time or make paint color choices and then back out with no penalty.

3. Any other tips on how I should go about doing this? We live in Montana so we do not need to involve a real estate attorney in our transactions.

Thank you so much in advance!

I have this same question! If I put all my money down how to I make the interest payments until the property sells? Can I inflate my loan somehow to cover these interest/mortgage payments?

Hi! I just registered my LLC and I want to apply for a DUNS number. I was told to get a personal mail box at UPS so that I wouldn't have to have my home address on public records with my company name-which makes perfect sense. I read that the government won't accept a PO Box as a physical address for a company (hence why not to go with USPS). As I was filling out the info for the DUNS number it said that I couldn't use even a personal mail box (PMB) (which has an actual street address and suite number-no PMB # required)...so now I don't know what to do. Should I used my PMB address without the PMB number or should I use my home address (since I have no physical address for my business)? I really don't want my home address to be associated with any public record information. Thank you!!
