Auto limits of 250/500/250 and Homeowners liability of 500K should be the minimum you carry.

The biggest win seems to be the fact that investors will be able to buy existing STR's and carry on with the business.

The ADA defines "readily achievable" as “easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.”Without much difficulty or expense is substantially different for a small mom and pop restaurant than it is for Google or TJ Max.

Here's what I have so far: Primary host with personal account + co-host(manager, brand account)-Pros: My super host status carries over which will help the new listings get off the ground.

I'd like a Seller carried note to cover the down payment for my hard money loan. 

These should be reflected in the purchase price or negotiated as part of the terms, such as the seller carrying some of the renovation burden.Use seller financing to your advantage by proposing a price closer to $225,000-$250,000 with terms such as 20% down, a low interest rate (4-5%), or interest-only payments for 3-5 years, with a balloon payment once renovations are complete and cash flow stabilizes.If the seller is firm on price, consider negotiating higher down payment terms to reduce the financed amount, paired with interest-only terms or a price reduction tied to renovation milestones.Key questions to address include the condition of the septic system, which can be a significant expense if it fails.

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

By the time you factor in insurance and any cap ex....it's already a loser...even if you aren't carrying a mortgage.  

@Heather Bailey while I live in my duplex, I have a standard Hazard insurance policy and I also carry an additional 500k umbrella policy (optional); both policies cover the entire building, but there's no separating it. 

Failure to meet material participation rules will limit rental losses to offsetting passive income or carrying forward.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
