A DSCR loan could make sense for long-term stability and moving the property into your LLC, but the current 8% rates would reduce your cash flow. 

(aside from the very obvious medical/industrial appliances/equipment).

I was told by my realtor I could use my own title agent so I didn't know if that would help me reduce costs.

@Mike SavageIf selling everything feels too costly, a staggered exit strategy (selling financing) could help reduce the tax impact.

The extra month's deposit will cover most of that reducing the risk of nonpayment when they break that lease early. 

I do not want to invest in another property.Any ideas how I can reduce my 2024 taxable income?

Pay attention to the loan-to-value ratio; a lower ratio can reduce risk by indicating more borrower equity in the property.Building relationships with lenders is essential.

And if you reduce the amount, you are reducing your protection.I have tried both and I'm still not sure which way to go.Airbnb's solution (neither one, just a virtual deposit, in case) is the best, IMO, but vrbo has not yet copied this one (I wish they would).How are you dealing with this matter for those of you on VRBO?

Ryan if you were posing this as a general question for most beginning investors, I would say buying close to home such as house hack or within a 2 to 3 hour drive to reduce the risk that's involved with OOS investing.

This step ensures compliance with local regulations.From my experience, when I had an STR in Cleveland, I only did the regular rental registration, so make sure you complete both registrations to avoid any issues.Cleveland is a popular spot for STRs, especially for visitors coming for sporting events and medical purposes.
