(anxiously awaiting the vitriol from property managers on here who think they are the ones in charge 🤣🤣🤣)P.s. don’t work with any property managers who think they are the ones in charge!

There are some exceptions to this but this is the general rule.The $150,000 hurdle shrinks to $75,000 if you are married but filing a separate return.Creating an LLC does not suddenly bypass this.In actuality, you created another filing requirement which your CPA will charge you an extra cost for.

Also, regarding the 15% you pay to Airbnb replaces the commission your guests used to have to pay to Airbnb so you should be able to charge it through your guests through your pricing.And, yes, operating short-term rentals in Mexico, while cheap compared to developed countries, is somewhat more expensive than in Colombia, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic because Mexico is more developed.

I did a DSCR loan once and was amazed of the BS fees which were charged.
