Sounds like you are all above board, I like it.

hi all, i’m newish to BP boards, thank you in advance for sharing your opinions + experience.i’m looking for opinions about how helpful an additional sleep number is in the income + rentability of an str.i’m potentially purchasing a 3 bedroom, 2 bath property which i will STR + also live in part-time.ideally, i’d like to have:*a king bed in the master bedroom*a queen bed in one bedroom*a queen memory foam pullout sofa in the third bedroomthis would be a 3 bedroom that sleeps 6this is my preference for:*general look of the house / not a house full of beds*number of guests/noise/cars*septic*would allow me to create a cute ‘chill out’ space in an extra bedroom-sized nook elsewhere in the house, which i think would be appealing to travelers.

There can also be boarding house regulations if you have alot of rooms in your property.

Great to have another designer on board! 

If you want to 1031 exchange to a property outside of CA, then you'll want to be careful about how the California Franchise Tax Board makes 1031s more difficult (no surprises there) when leaving their jurisdiction. 

Reach out to some EAs or CPAs on this board privately and ask if they take IRS representation cases.BP rules prohibit us from contacting you, publicly or privately, even though you asked for help.

You can of course do it yourself, but I think hiring expertise who has lots of experience talking to the appraisers, working for other investors, and potentially going in front of the board and potentially arbitrators is probably money well spent.

I'm also on the Board of Directors of the Rental Owners Association of Lane County. 

The Board ate him and his broker alive.

I have seen this stated on this board and have heard it parroted back by newbie investors, and this myth needs to end.
