I suggest doing your own research for data and assumptions (like rent, vacancy, appreciation/depreciation, etc.) and not rely on AI. 

I think I'll just let her go and move on to the next tenant. 

So back to the drawing board, but for myself the big takeaway is to continue on the course that I set out on and too continually learn and stay involved with goals that I set out on and to stay focused.

Before listing it on an STR platform, I need to make some improvements to my current home.How can I maximize tax write-offs for these improvements?

You are correct; it would be awkward having two different parties staying on the property. 

Basically, more than a certain amount of STR and MTR in the same building were considered a hotel and I would have had to have 24/7 staff on site.Were you able to get around that with the local municipality?

This will cost you money on the back end.

I looked at their booking calendar one time and thought it was pretty empty.I guess you don't know until you try...and probably depends on if you want high occupancy or high rate?

At this point, I'm not so concerned about achieving that exactly, but if my REI journey takes me there on my way to (or even after) financial freedom, then I'm all for it.There's still some work to do to prepare financially for "the first deal" and that moment legitimately appears to be about 2 years away. 

I am based in Houston and currently embarking on my journey into the world of real estate wholesaling.
