STR seems to have better tax benefits (in the right market) but is it worth it at a distance ???

This forces you into an endless loop of Cancel - "Retain my benefits" What do I need to do to cancel this membership?

Aim for a path that benefits the current tenants if it's worth it.

Then i would probably want a CPA firm that has specialist that know the state laws for my portfolio so I can benefit even more.

Some investors have no need, some may benefit from having one.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re more focused on long-term appreciation and future benefits rather than immediate cash flow.

Benefits:1) Tenants can't lock keys in house, they have to use their key to lock the deadbolt.2) Cheaper to rekey or replace locks (only deadbolt!)

You might also consider highlighting the benefits of a quieter, more relaxed stay during the week in your listing description.Since you're already optimizing your pricing with Priceless, a short-term promotional discount might just be the extra push needed to boost weekday bookings.

While some get into investment real estate for the tax benefits, I'd venture to say nobody gets into it for the tax compliance and bookkeeping work.

Include a buyout clause allowing you to transition to sole ownership after two years, based on a pre-determined valuation formula or market value.Use an LLC to hold the property for liability protection and pass-through taxation, ensuring both partners benefit from depreciation to offset rental income.
