If we can enhance someone else's life by providing a nice, safe place to stay during vacation and in turn pay for our own vacation home...well, it's a win-win! 

I have a few ideas on enhancing leads but people are starting to come up with very creative ways in compiling leads.

Only hired out electrical, drywall (with taping and texture) water heater install.I'll have a more detailed spreadsheet when I build my ADU.

By my calculations, they've had more money coming in since April than they've ever had in their lives - $3600 stimulus, plus at least $5000/month enhanced unemployment for two workers. 

And if so, does that mean I can’t even remove the texture off the walls?

An LLC has nothing to do with tax, it doesn't in anyway enhance your ability to deduct expenses if you were told that it was wrong.

If its in an up and coming area it seems the city would be foolish not to mix it up a little to enhance their tax base.

We closed on it in May, did some enhancements and changes to it, and now have it on the short-term rental/AirBnB/VRBO market.  

Leave exposed and coat with polycyclic, whitewash, etc. or install drywall, texture, and paint?

I have only ONE tenant out of 32 who is not paying rent only since July 1 (and she got the enhanced unemployment - there's just always a better use for the money than paying the rent), and it's driving me CRAZY.
