The seasoning issue is when you want to walk away with cash.

We are pursuing a house hack (fixer upper) and turning the basement into an ADU which we rent on Airbnb.I had a theory that Airbnbs that performed needed to be walking distance to a metro.

I think upwards of 40% depending on variables that a CPA can walk you through.

In not they will know they can walk all over you and do whatever they want.

If so, they should be able to walk you through some of these scenarios.

Your record of this deposit (via teller slip or online transfer) will be your receipt of payment.This elimates complextity and the additional steps/rules that come with using a third party to collect rent.I get an email alert when a tenant makes a deposit, and each rent amount is unique so I know who has paid in case they don't have the teller add a memo to the payment.They can transfer funds online, or walk in to a local branch with cash, personal check, wampum, etc. 

If you don't feel up to a fairly significant repair, I'd walk.

If they won't provide it walk away. 

Hopefully, you have a team of trusted advisers walking you through this process from start to finish.

Well, if you are within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, and Astoria Park and just 20 minutes from NYC, only one thing can make homeownership more special.
