Being new to this, the clear instructions are super helpful.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions From my experience managing STRs, I would also say that it's important to provide basic instructions for different things around the house (or in the bedrooms).

But most people don't follow those instructions and they send me the  "is this still available" message. 

To do so, just follow the instructions below:1.) 

Also, the IRS for some reason doesn't provide instructions on this matter.Just to cover some basis... 

In fact, in my pre-licensing course in Mass, the instructor said that if we were ever in a setting with other agents, like a gathering at a bar, and someone said something like "you know, we should all agree to a minimum of Z%" that we were to loudly and publicly excuse ourselves.Business brokering is so much more fun - and we charge a lot more commission too!

The instructor was not very helpful so I figured I would ask here!

You also did not give them any firm instructions about how to handle this.

They never tell you to keep it compounding, they just don't outright say that or instruct that.
