@Vince Nguyen Yes you can absolutely do that, but there are lender specific guidelines you have to meet. 

You can also check online resources like BiggerPockets or Roofstock, which offer general CapEx guidelines based on property type and age.These methods should help you perform a solid preliminary analysis.

I think I will take both of these directives and try to find a happy medium.As far as photos and advertising, I'm going to make some tweaks to the ad, and I have many friends who are in film who could hook me up with some better photos, or at least the camera equipment I need to do it myself.I have a showing tomorrow, and in the meantime I'll work on a plan for my next move and will post an update as things progress.Thanks again! 

Or any friend or kid of either unit.. which is why there shouldn't be a switch there.Are you trolling with these posts? 

I have a couple of friends and clients who have tried them and, from what I've heard, similar experience to what @Amere Mack had experienced.

I don’t have an STR myself but have helped a friend set up and manage a couple last year and it’s not as simple as it used to be. 

If you hired an agent or a broker to work with you, you'd be covered - but regulations & laws vary from place to place.Screening is best done by establishing a set of guidelines to qualify applicant tenants, then sticking to those rules to avoid legal issues (and for your own sanity).

That is what the national guidelines call for.

I went to sign up on the advice of a friend and realized I had signed up 11 years ago and never used the site.

When I worked with a friend in a similar situation, they ended up splitting the difference by moving forward with the 1031 for just one property instead of two.
