Property is affordable and looks good on paper, but your actual experience may be very different due to costly turnovers, bad renters, vacancies, etc. 

I wouldn't throw just things at her, lay the pros and cons out on paper. 

Most of them are selling the property, not the paper.

STR has additional expenses like the cost of furnishings, consumables (TP, paper towels, coffee, etc.), utilities, TV/internet, landscaping maintenance, marketing, credit card fees, lodging taxes, etc.

:)now, here's something... when we bought our house 13 yrs ago i knew nothing about remodeling. so when taking the wall paper off on one wall, 4 layers of wallpaper came off and some of the plaster. had no idea how to patch it, so we bought a bhear texture paint in a can that you apply with a special roller. and then we painted on top, so the bumps are smooth.so now, we have one accent wall in the house that's texture and everyone that walks in thinks it looks like art because we added some shapes that do not have the texture. even plasterers have commented on stealing that technique.. :)

Get caught with your pants down on paper first, it costs less. 

This post is for the STR investors who are looking to take advantage of the STR tax loophole which allows you to write off paper losses against your active income.

Also had a second floor leak with pools of water on it, soaked it up with a towel and still good to go.

You can do it online or with a paper form.

I wouldn't have bought in Class C (the cash flow on paper is actually negative) and gone for Class A for appreciation.
