A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Would your STR business even exist without Airbnb?  

Some people like Yardi and some like the next one. 

In Oak Park, we have had people like Ray Kroc, Ernest Hemingway, Bob Newhart, Sam Gianncana, Betty White. 

I still think that the appreciation question boils down to the "Do people with options want to live here?"

Looking to connect with people who have some local knowledge of Detroit.

Does anyone know about Tupelo for Business?

And don't forget, states don't have 4-profit business to create wealth, no money-tree out in a yard to shake, states $ is from THE PEOPLE, so that $50 Billion is all Californians paying for it.  

Plenty of people do have 10-20 unit and work thru it, you just need to think it thru and have a plan if you don't want to do all the work. 

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required).
