Russell I had my first contract come in on one of my new builds and the commission was simply one of the line items in the addendum.. it became a negotiating point and thats what I did as the owner/seller I did my counter and part of it was a commission adjustment to the amount the agent put in the offer..

Your taxable gain / loss will be sales price less cost to sell less your adjusted basis.

The why will help you adjust course so that you can learn what you need to do to qualify - either for a different property, or in the future. 

@Josef Bryan Gerster I think some adjustments in your Revenue Management model could be made to increase desire for mid-week bookings.

It automatically handles all the initial calculations for listings within 50 miles and updates daily.I'd love to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you might have.

@Alex NgThis is an interesting business model, and I don’t think having Section 8 tenants automatically means more issues.

Consistent reminder of paying rent, automatic charging of late fees and ability to add addendum for changes in lease agreements.

The extra cash will help because it shows that you have reserves, but you wont automatically get a sweetheart deal just because you have X amount of cash. 

As cap rates continue to decompress, rates stay high, and prices adjust downward, cash flow will come back. 

A couple more:1) when I run the numbers for the STRs, it seems like the asking prices have not adjusted for the rise in interest rates.
