There are property management companies that handle everything—from guest check-ins to maintenance—so you don’t have to worry about being hands-on.

What am I going to do if a guest uses too much energy... nothingThe goal is to run MTR for a few years and then convert to LTR.

That is spent chatting with guests at the house, getting updates from cleaners etc.

@Jonathan Klemm is also a good local resource who is active on here.

I'm pretty active on here and IG (@HouseHackandHustle).

And don't forget to factor in design/furnishings into your budget keeping in mind your ideal guest avatar.    

The gist of it is that when you dispose of your entire interest in a passive activity in a fully taxable (as opposed to a tax-deferred) transaction to a non-related party, i.e., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted. 

Plus some of it, especially in Jeff Davis County, are on top of an active earthquake fault zone.

For example, during a guest stay a furnished vase falls and breaks.
