Someone with $10M in the bank in cash just needs to put a lot of money to work and time value and tax write off is more interesting to them than a hungry investor in their 20s that has never found a deal.Honestly, books are great, but they are about as "boiler plate" as you can get as I'm sure you're discovering.

The cash flow that you need to achieve should be based off the rest of your portfolio and your financial situation as a whole.

Some of those round thermostats still have an on/off switch, and some are AC/heat so the tenant could flip it to AC to keep heat off But I second the other point @George Paiva made - how can you be certain the heat isn't on?

Hello everyone,I’m a Canadian looking to buy a short term rental vacation home in the Kissimmee area.Currently we own a long term rental home in Winter Garden which we bought some time ago, and will be paid off completely in Feb 2029.  

My new primary residence in Oregon will not be in an LLC however I intend to travel off and on, and rent it out but that won't occur for another year or so. 

I tried to work with my tenant but they cut off all communication with me and wont respond to anyone.

It really reminds me of where i grew up in Cupertino Ca when tech took off and the orchards were turned into housing.

In turn they will help you find off market deals as well.
