They surely put a lot of billboards along major freeways advertise for almost free listing and will pay for repair and staging at discount prices.

I closed on my first rental property last month, and currently fixing up the place to hopefully rent it out soon (should be advertising soon!).

Finance of America has a 90 seasoning advertisement. 

If the updates are done as advertised, I wouldn't use such high numbers for CapEx and/or R&M.  

If so, yes, you can deduct a lot of expenses, but they have to be advertised and available by then on Airbnb.You cannot "deduct" renovation cost, you can depreciate them.

But you can never say never...especially with these polls which are not exactly representative of the voting public (Early polls also indicated a much different result with our presidential elections!).

Quite a bit less than I'm seeing for PM fees.So how do you account for the advertising expense when you analyze a deal?

@Jim Watkins 1) don’t advertise in a public forum that you don’t declare your income 2) go legit, start declaring 3) run your credit report and talk to lenders, you don’t know until you try

If I were you I would definitely recommend looking around more to see if any of your local lenders advertise as being military friendly or if they specialize in VA loans.

I see a few of them advertise in BP.
