Yes, you can deduct related expenses including gas, loan interest, insurance, etc. using the actual vehicle expenses method to deduct auto expenses for your rental or other businesses. 

Best to call city hall for the town you are buying in to see what if any rent control rules are in place. see link below if you require additional information and call the Jersey City Landlord Tenant relations office. https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/...Jersey City CPI chart on recommended rent increases: https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server...The state with the highest eviction rate in the country right now is South Carolina. 

@William Fishergreat question thanks for posting, I was just looking around for posts that were related to this.

 I am a relatively new house flipper. 

I've tried to include relative information, without writing a novel. 

So feel free to reach out if there is something I can help you with related to your STR business.Alongside my work in revenue management, I have real estate investments in Canada, focusing primarily on long-term rentals.

De nada 😎I don't know that market at all (FYI, I don't see this is other Midwest markets where my CFO clients buy properties), but I suspect it's related to perhaps the international investors that agent may work with...they are often cash buyers as it's very difficult to borrow here if you're not a U.S. citizen.

We were told the addition of any other pet-related up-front charges would likely not be considered favorably by a judge. 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

A more intrusive approach would be to Google the owner name and see if you can find relatives and skip trace and call them.
