All income to a traditional IRA has the same tax treatment and any earnings will be considered regular income when distributed - whether from stocks or real estate. 

*Two-wire ungrounded systems with two-prong receptacle acceptable *Two-wire ungrounded system with three-prong receptacle unacceptable unless supplied through GFCIBased on that, the 3-prong outlets you put in wouldn't pass if they test them.If you're interested, here's a list of the top 10 most commonly failed inspection items (in order from highest to lowest failure rate) from one county Housing Authority:1.

What I am finding is that the lots within HOAs sell for double or even triple of lots in regular communities.

First, always aim for clear and regular communication.

Personally, I'm betting my own money on it, looking for investments now that our inventory has creeped up to about 4 months supply, which is still pretty low compared to most markets.  

Commission rates, like any other good or service are based on supply and demand.The settlement is likely to lead to a lot of agents leaving the business.

It’s going to turn into supply and demand.

For us it varies by market but in our primary market 15% plus a small monthly fee to help cover software costs etc if it's a lower gross property.That's full service, host doesn't have to worry about anything and can forget the property even exists if they want to.We do have tiered services where it's 10% (w/ no or lower monthly fee) if the owner wants us to only do one side of it (either manage bookings but not guests/cleanings/maintenance, or vice versa).25-30% used to be more normal but that's legacy pricing now, for a couple of reasons.1) Of course margins are much thinner for owners now that revenue has generally come down across the board from the peak, while home prices and interest rates have risen alongside that.2) Probably even more important, a simple supply/demand equation, particular to the case of increased supply. 

@Jaime Felber If you're in a good location with a lot of demand and not a lot of supply, it's easier than if you're not in an area with so much demand.

It will ultimately be based on the supply and demand of the area but you have to keep an eye on the total renter pool as well.
