I'm the co-host of the Edmonton InvestHER chapter, and love supporting other women in real estate, so let me know if I can help. 

It's definitely worth investigating.Yes, you can install motion-sensor cameras to monitor vacant rentals, but they require some paid service to monitor remotely (wifi, hotspot, etc.)

So I did that and my property revenue cannot service the debt but using my strategy I'm cash flowing $1100/month after PITI on a new construction home under warranty. 

I'd recommend getting multiple quotes from service providers to see what pricing is going to look like per square footage.Without too much information provided and depending on the size of your home it could be anywhere from $5,000-$15,000+

We purchased a property in early October and are placing it in service this week (mid November).We had intended to run a cost segregation study and try to accelerate depreciation which we can deduct against our W2 (assuming material participation).However, we have been reading through the IRS guidelines (eg publication 946 on Property Depreciation) and there seems to be the concept of "short year" which would mean that we can only deduct ~1.5/12 of a year's worth of depreciation in 2024.Is this correct or are there any different rules for STRs specifically?

I had a bunch of people reaching out to book the place for a day or so to host parties. 

I'm a short term rental owner/host since 2019. 

I'm looking to list my property with them but read some horror reviews online from guests (but not hosts). 

We all know the loans end up at the banks or investors and their servicers.. ???
