I manage a short-term rental in San Diego and am considering integrating my in-laws’ STR under this operational model to reduce taxable income.Establishing an LLC seemed like a way to merge our business accounts, potentially decreasing taxable income from our STR by accounting for expenses from an added unit.

That point I would have to put them up in a hotel or some temporary housing in order to get the place fixed up.

I am thinknig of installing a smart door knob and lock so I or the tenant can program temporary codes to allow access when someone needs to show up to fix something. 

This would provide a long-term assistance remedy for you as well.In the meantime, contact 211 United Way of Georgia to find mortgage assistance or utility assistance, for temporary help.

Also, the military does have "per diem" housing pay for their personnel when they send them on temporary assignments.

Anyways- if it were you, would you go ahead and redo the kitchen with new cabinets/granite, and put in new windows - or would you leave them as is - and spruce up the kitchen with a coat of paint to the cabinets as a temporary update , and just wait 5-10 years when it's time to sell to do those type of upgrades/rehab (New windows and New kitchen).

All major metros recorded monthly decreases ranging from 2 to 4 percent.

Will I be able to "capture" that depreciation to decrease my capital gains from the sale? 

I'm looking for some guidance on how to go about doing this since my contractor quoted that the job would take 1-2 weeks and during that time there would be no access to the unit because there isn't enough room to put a temporary stairway in while they are building.
