Closed mid-December and was able to get two bookings for the holidays.

I did the right thing by asking for the security deposit and first month of rent before handing the keys.For the next two months, she has been a nightmare.

With that said, I have personally seen a lot of activity in the last two weeks.

Michael,Maybe you could hire two, see how they do, then give All to the one that meets your expectations, is efficient and returns phone calls

There are two large community pools, which are heated during the cooler months, tennis and pickle ball courts.The minimum STR period has been reduced from a year to six months.

It gets complicated if you use a HELOC towards two separate projects as you would need to pro-rate the interest across the two projects.However, the answer would be yes, they would be deductible.

I goal is to find a market that has good appreciation rate with good to decent cashflow but out of the two appreciation matters more to me.

I also found that being at "market" rents it takes longer to rent therefore missing out on a month or two of income negating the ROI on improvements.

Most people can't afford that hit to their income.I recommend the two college towns, Tuscaloosa and Auburn, as having affordable houses, high rents, stable tenant supply, a number of very good management companies and landlord-friendly courts.

Each change took a meeting, then two different public hearings, then a Board approval meeting.
