If I'm intending to haul furniture and heavy tools, a truck would be better even if it is more expensive.   

I figured $75 was a high estimate for Electricity to power the outdoor lights, flood lights covers and any other steady burning lights that are necessary for safety.As far as looking at other options for financing I have investigated the 203k and the 203k streamlined.

I'm now allowing outdoor pets again, though on my first rental, an outdoor dog scratched the paint off of both sets of steel French doors and I charged the tenant for replacement.

Great weather (3/4 of the year), outdoor lifestyle and activities, popular annual events (Phoenix Open, Major League Baseball Spring Training, etc., etc.), resort living all year round.So when our city makes the news, as in this article from AZ Business Magazine, we have to share.

If anyone has successfully sold a full short term rental business, how did you go about marketing and how complicated was the sell given that you're selling, real estate, furniture and upcoming bookings.  

I don't own a single piece of furniture.

There are floor coverings somewhere beneath the dirt, dust, furniture.....haha. 

The owner will be providing a list of the items that will be included with the property and their costs, which will provide us with a deduction on the legal fees.Logically, I would think that, since the current owner will be separating out the cost of the furniture from the apartment, we can perhaps depreciate it according to the normal ADS schedule for furniture, as it seems like it would be equivalent to purchasing used furniture for a property.

Especially after reading a thread about what landlords wish they had put in their leases to begin with (things I never even thought of...no indoor furniture outside?!)

Look for USA made furniture on Craigslist, Facebook, OfferUP and LetGo.
