The first guest that I mentioned went through the full eviction process and left before being removed by the sheriff.Since I’m telling stories here, I’ll also tell you that I am one of the rare hosts who has successfully evicted a short term rental guest as well.

But ya have to make some educated prognostications in life.Add this to the information your processing - What your talking about doing is eliminating around $4000 or interest expense (which is deductible anyway so really could be a real impact of eliminating $2800 or so) of debt in exchange for paying over $10K in capital gains tax (don't forget possible state gains tax as well).  

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

If you want to look at total expenses over the years, you need to look at total income received as well with your potential sale price. 

I will findout more information about all the great questions you posted :) Thank you.No inspections is all well and good, but that’s not the real issue.

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!

Could you please share with me as well?

STRs work best in tourist-heavy areas with high demand, while LTRs perform well in markets with stable economies and diverse job opportunities.

Your strong foundation in the stock market and tech background positions you well for success in real estate investing.

I’m actually looking into an ADU as well with him.
