@Son D. the borrower paid off the loan a few months ago. 

Just so you know, Vrbo and Airbnb will not allow you to receive an inquiry through their platforms, and then take the booking off-platform, they want their cut of the money. 

If the “all water off for 10 minutes” plan is unworkable. 

The hard work paid off when we sold it on 9/13/2024 for $155,000.

My goal is to avoid doble taxation, ability to write-off expenses, asset protection and avoiding probate.If anyone can help me with this or refer to an accountant who has experience with cross border real estate transaction, I'll be greatly obliged. 

We live well, have a nice house which I built from the ground up and saved 200k off the top. 

I made the mistake of letting someone get in one of my first units that was a bit off the 3 times, they were great tenants very kind and enjoyed their stay and experience with me, but could not afford it when I increased the rent on them, which is something you will have to do because of rising insurance/tax costs.5.)

As you know, marketing and price are both very important, and vacancy will significantly impact your income, so you are almost always better off charging a lower price and getting it filled with a good tenant.  

It takes 2-3 years to get it off the ground and adding investing in the mix would be too much.

While I love the idea of eventually owning a paid-off primary residence, I’m debating whether it’s smarter to sell our current house and use the equity as a down payment on the new home or to keep it as a rental.
