2) dropping a vape in a toilet mid stay is clearly an accident.  

Center Point is not investor friendly anymore so I would advise staying away from the rental side.

However, purchasing the replacement property from an estate where your mother-in-law is the executor and other heirs are your wife's aunts and cousins raises potential related-party concerns under Section 1031(f).The IRS generally prohibits 1031 exchanges between related parties unless both the buyer and seller hold their respective properties for at least two years after the exchange.To stay compliant and avoid disqualification, ensure:The estate sells the property directly before any distributions to heirs.You hold the replacement property for at least two years.The transaction is conducted at fair market value with no prearranged agreements.Given the IRS scrutiny of related-party 1031 exchanges, consult a qualified CPA or 1031 exchange accommodator to structure the deal properly and avoid potential capital gains tax liabilities.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Hey @Spencer Cuello, like my buds said, stay away from that.

So, for example, a 4-night stay for a group of 12?

Also, why stay in OR/WA we have a lot of refugees come to Id for lots of reasons.

I would stay away from section 8, pull credit and background, and call referrals, and look at pay stubs for everyone who applies.

I would focus my attentions here and try to stay local (within a 4 hour drive) as the POH rentals require more engagement.Financing is a tough deal... but sometimes you can find those Mom and Pop operations with quite a few POH rentals that will work with seller financing on a reasonable interest rate with a balloon within 5-7 years. 

Staying flexible and partnering with a skilled property manager or agent would be key to achieving long-term success.Good luck!

If you have an awesome job and love living where you are, there is no shame in staying put!
