The STR would be appropriately categorized as an "other passive activity", not a "rental real estate activity with active participation" as, again, a rental with an average period of customer use of seven days or less is not a rental activity under the passive activity loss rules.

A super basic step one would be to set up a "newly listed within the last week" custom search on Crexi, Loopnet, whatever.

Unfortunately, there are numerous other frustrated customers who are dealing with similar, if not worse, situations, myself included.

I believe businesses should solve problems and add value to their customers rather than trying to sell them something they don't want or need.

Hello BP fam! I have a family member who will be staying in the ATL area from May 5th to May 21st in the ATL area. He's looking for a STR or rent by rooms while down there. He may be stationed there around oct/nov and...

Even if you pay $300 labor and 150 materials each time, but the work is continuous, it can still be considered as series contracts (one contract after another within a period apart, even if you do 1-3 day a week/month, as long as it has a pattern, it could be considered as such).Thanks Manolo for all the advice, esp regarding WC.

You might have a challenge with tenants/customers feeling uncomfortable next to a prison so getting the local insights might be valuable to you as well. 

Maybe some specialty programs exist for prefab homes or a custom ADU builder might have his own lender partner they could refer you to... but unless you yourself are an experienced home builder with a track record in ground-up construction, you're basically looking at a hard money or a HELOC.

I've seen some where the screen does not open while others have the classic squeeze-to-open.I ask because if they do not need to open I can build them myself but otherwise we have weird dimensions and will have to pay $$$ for custom...Thanks in advance!
