Normally, you would only depreciate based on the life of the equipment, which could be as little ten years nowadays as a recent article mentioned new refrigerators now last 10 years or less.However, for taxes, you can do a section 179 election for equipment purchased for less than $1,160.

Does something like this even exist in this amped up STR market with so many pros/operators out there nowadays?

Seems like everything cost an arm and a leg to get nowadays.

They're selling a dream using buzz words like "escape the rat race", "be your own boss", "financial freedom", and "spend more time with your family".

Nowadays there are an abundance of platforms such as Buildium and DoorLoopWhen you get to a certain unit count, it's worth switching to Appfolio.Try to pick a solution that you can grow into and you feel comfortable with their platform

Contractors are super busy nowadays.

Though I would say its a very saturated market nowadays I would consider something like as service based business if your goal is to get started with large cashflow 

They sell it in little 3 oz bottles, so try it first, but it has a great taste and a very pleasant unique buzz.

Nowadays, it feels as if everyone is inventing fees to charge and there is no consistency across lenders anymore. 

However my understanding is that with or without just cause landlord cannot move the tenant out easily in San Diego nowadays.
