When evaluating markets for rental properties, there are a lot of factors to consider: population growth, employment rates, rent to price ratio/GRM/Cap Rate, rent trends, vacancy rates, etc. 

When you own a rental, you can depreciate the property over 27.5 years.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

I e-mailed you a copy of the Zillow link with my rental listing.  

Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

@Treza Edwards "I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

Why do you want to buy 2 rentals a year?

Is anyone actively doing midterm rentals in this general area and willing to help some new comers out?
