@Treza Edwards "I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

I have one for my other rentals through a prior relationship but that's a couple of hours away. 

It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

Why do you want to buy 2 rentals a year?

I e-mailed you a copy of the Zillow link with my rental listing.  

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Avoid basing it on uncontrollable factors like taxes or insurance.

Is anyone actively doing midterm rentals in this general area and willing to help some new comers out?
