Stay engaged on the BP forums and listen to podcasts regarding house hacking. 

The way I read the Regs, it's a 4-day stay that counts as a 4-day stay for both years.

Structuring your lease in this way would benefit you by 1) locking in a longer term contract to avoid turnover costs and vacancy loss; 2) it moves your lease end date out of the winter season and into spring/summer of 2026 so it can be more easily marketed and re-rented to match the seasonal demand cycle; and 3) it avoids any upset/angry tenants who may have been incorrectly assuming their rent was going to stay in the $1,200 range after their first 6-month lease term.Would love to hear any updates you have on how this one shakes out for you though!

These are questions that have stayed in my mind through every episode I've listened to.

And I just did a big write up on it.Short of it is it does well, and no I'm not removing mechanicals between stays lol

We are in winter so hate to have the property stay vacant.  

Turn over is good too ,most of them stay at least a year.

The individuals I've met along the way that are really good at real estate are analytical, level headed, and disciplined.
