And remember: if you bought it now, you won't be buying it next year, so you basically rob your next year of this tax deduction.

Don't need a ton of pictures but I want to get a decent idea of the location and condition.So basically you dont want your customer to know it look dumpy until they show up.....I can understand the safety from people looking for vacant houses.... then anyone selling a house better take all of their outside pictures off their listing

@William Causey depends on the transaction and the parties involved.Agree with @Dennis McNeely on some of the transaction costs.A different issue though is with an Assignment, the buyer gets to see what you paid for the property.

We (the buyers) notified our agent that the property must also be move-in-ready.We received images of the interior and exterior which showed the property in move-in ready condition/what appeared to be minimal to no deferred maintenance issues, the listing said "property inmove-in condition/turn-key".

I’m an investor agent in the St Pete area and work with out-of-state buyers clients with the same questions - how, where and can I STR in St.

We are having a hard time coming to a consensus of how to identify, underwrite, and basically take the jump. ( we don't want to screw it up lol) I've searched this topic on the forums but figured someone could give some insights given our situation.

This new area is basically double the housing cost then the first, but I think finding the team to manage will be much easier.

You are basically changing the dwelling and Baltimore City is not gonna let you do it without getting your money :D))

Basically, be willing to look at your listing through the eyes of your target avatar.

I guess it has to be fully paid back within 5 years from the distribution so you basically skip the first payment.)I vote that @Dave Meyer does a quick upgrade to the rental property calculator to include scenarios with simultaneous loans!
