Is that correct?

We've decided to work with a tow company as well as post the correct tow and no trespass signage (and work with police re non-vehicular trespass).

You mentioned tenant screening through the software, but does the software also run detailed rent reports to determine you're marketing at the correct rate?

Ha, thanks.You're totally correct.

I would recommend speaking with a qualified custodian to ensure you set up the account correctly, which is step one. 

Would I rather own an AirBNB in Galveston for the next five years where a permit currently costs $250 a year and a correctly bought deal can still perform exceptionally, or in NYC where I can no longer operate now and for the foreseeable future?

There are ways to use loopholes but it has to be done correctly to avoid issues.If you can rent your current home and it cash flows simply do a cash out refinance pull out some cash and use it for a down payment.

There is no correct answer.  

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: There are approximately 2.5 million vacation homes in America.While technically correct, I think it is important to point out that many of those vacation homes are in rural areas where there is minimal work opportunities.

I'm trying to verify if this is correct and if so, how much more expensive (ballpark) can the one without standard exceptions be?
