Thanks for the quick reply, Julie - very encouraging to hear that it's an avenue worth pursuing.I used to be concerned about my personal furniture (which is not inexpensive) but after I added up the opportunity costs of NOT utilizing my primary residence as a STR in my absence, all my concerns about it vanished.

Therefore, if you want to know which one is better for you, I encourage you ask another question which is "how are you most likely to get more accomplished?"

The IRS is encouraging individuals with expiring Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to start the renewal process before year-end to avoid delays at tax time.

Hope this helps to encourage you to pursue a syndication.

Personally I would not be wasting the time and money for a second shed that will only encourage hoarding of items.

This encourages them to pay the last month of rent and leave house clean so that they get their large deposit back.If they get behind or break the lease, this extra helps offset what they owe plus any damage or cleaning you have to take care of.It is a small percentage of the time that someone turns in a 30 day notice and leaves the place clean and undamaged to get their deposit back.

Landlords must become very creative to "encourage" tenants that are below market to leave.

In giving you a summary of my story, I mean to encourage you to follow your instinct and be a bit patient with the situation, because as everyone will tell you, you'd rather keep a vacancy for some time than have to deal with an eviction later.I found the form with the pre-screening questions very useful. 

While I encourage you to network via BP, I think your best bet at this point is to find someone through your local meetups.

Though with your encouragement, I will investigate this further.Which line of cabinets did you order for your recent kitchen cabinet build out?
