Rates are set to come down in the next 12 months and it would be a waste to spend thousands on buying points when you can refi later. 

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..

If they can be difficult to work with, then I'd be careful renting to them as it's not worth ruining a relationship.2.

I decorated two STRs that photograph great, consistently book, and are loved by guests for less than a couple thousand dollars for a 3-bedroom.

Quote from @Kelly Monteiro: @Susan Walsh, where did you see the $ 100K limit, I've been researching on this bill and haven't seen anything mentioning that, not sure if it changed since your message was sent.CHAPTER 235504 (c)(2)(A) For purposes of this subdivision, a short-term rental facilitator is considered to have de minimis facilitations of short-term rentals if the facilitator derived less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) from facilitating short-term rentals during the previous calendar year.

It may not seem like a lot month to month but over a year it can be a few thousand.

Unfortunately, I have not come across any seminar that wouldn’t attempt to get me to sign up for hundreds/thousands of dollars’ “worth” of a workshop, where I’d subsequently likely be pitched tens of thousands of dollars “worth” of additional “education” and alleged mentorship.

She then submitted another check with a numerical value of $1,200 and a written value of twelve thousand.

Even if I were found guilty, the cost would be in the thousands, not in the millions.

In general, in most markets they add many thousands less than the hands off costs to add the ADU.
