hello! i was wondering if anyone had a tax person they really like that knows the ins and outs of short term rentals like what i can write off, etc. 

@Andrew Syrios thank you!

Thank you @Kevin Sobilo. I am waiting to hear back from them so hopefully it will go smoothly dealing with them. @Andrew Syrios yes it was in the contract.

So I'm hoping this isn't just a lesson learned event...but when I purchased my rental near joshua tree, the homeowner was to put in a new HVAC system prior to closing. The house uses propane, but the unit installed was for natural gas and it started a little fire and fried all the circuitry.  I'm told by the HVAC tech that he talked to the manufacturer and this unit specifically does not work with propane and can not be converted.  Do I have any recourse here?

@Zachary Beach hi Zachary! I’m interested in big bear but have heard it can be difficult to find reliable cleaning and maintenance crews. Would love to pick your brain on any leanings you’d be willing to share! Thanks!

Makes sense! Appreciate you sharing @Gene Hacker!

Thanks for your reply @Gene Hacker! That’s great to hear that they’re doing well. Would love to understand any learnings you could offer about finding a reliable cleaning/maintenance crew! 

Hi @Account Closed! Thanks for the feedback! I’m in LA. I love going up to camp and fish up there and at Isabella so I want to find a place that I can use and rent it out when I’m not using it. I love it up there! I love Kern River brewery. Check out cracked egg up there too if you’ve never been!

Does anyone have an STR in Kernville? I'm thinking of investing there and want to explore if it's possible to independently manage the property vs a management company. How is it finding trustworthy and reliable house cleaning and a maintenance person?
