Assuming I also use the Airstream for lodging while traveling for personal reasons, would I just take a pro-rated amount of depreciation for the amount of use that is business vs. personal?

I have a 2-person unit with a glass top dining table and it has worked well.

I'm looking to identify a builder with the following characteristics:1) Eager to grow his/her company and reputation in the market2) Has produced at least five high quality builds in Arizona which are at least 4K sq ft  3) Has proven track record of completing builds in a timely manner4) Personal capital to allocate to projects (optional, but ideal)Please reach out to me if you or someone you know might fit these criteria. are you set that you want luxury?

They specifically specialize in group vacations, so kind of similar, and no doubt have spent a ton of money analyzing and figuring out what works. 

However, because I am unable to make trips to scout locations or look at homes in person.

Have you calculated what your (monthly nut) is you need to survive business wise and personally?

That would be a separate mortgage and not what amounts to a second loan on your personal residence, which if you have spouses, they might not be that into. 

Quote from @Ashish Acharya: @Niklas Zhu If you tear down your STR in 2025 and convert it to personal use, depreciation recapture does not occur at the time of conversion.

Jorge told us don't expect anything for awhile possibly a couple years...I have myself personally have $50,000 invested with them and I doubt I will ever see it again.

Unless you’ve signed some additional liability vis a vis the seller, YOU as the buyer of a property SUBJECT TO a mortgage on the property do not personally OWE anything.
