I recently considered switching to KeyCheck but decided to stick with RR for two important reasons: 1) RR allows for weekly rent collection, which is recommended by my real estate attorney, and 2) RR has lower credit card processing fees for tenants.

These are places you would spend your vacation dollars with your family to go have a good time for a week or longer.

What I did was after my sale was under contract and I was down to a couple weeks from closing I started shopping seriously and had my replacement under contract a couple days before my sale closed.

See, in SFR (1-4 unit) the primary driver to valuations is comp's, market sale comparable, what so-n-so sold there place for last week/month etc.. 

For example, travel nurses often sign their contracts less than a month in advance of their assignment and the typical assignment is 13 weeks.

Have a detailed scope of work in writing and set clear weekly milestones with your GC.

We purchased a property in early October and are placing it in service this week (mid November).We had intended to run a cost segregation study and try to accelerate depreciation which we can deduct against our W2 (assuming material participation).However, we have been reading through the IRS guidelines (eg publication 946 on Property Depreciation) and there seems to be the concept of "short year" which would mean that we can only deduct ~1.5/12 of a year's worth of depreciation in 2024.Is this correct or are there any different rules for STRs specifically?

I just closed on my second 4plex in Emeryville this week, which is 75% occupied, and every unit is renting below market (~$250-$1500 less).
