Pros and Cons of vacation rentals I've come up with:Pros- Living in a city with year round tourists (home is in a great central location) - Potential to make more $$ than a traditional rental- Less wear and tear on the property (in theory)- Access to the property weekly to clean/make sure it is being maintainedCons- No guarantee of bookings- Personal time investment to clean after each check out - 3% fee charged on every booking from Airbnb (VRBO is even higher) I am 50/50 on what route to take here, so any advice is welcome!

I am based in Austin, TX right now and the market is a bit inflamed so I'm considering surrounding areas such as Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, etc.

I'm looking for a referral for a CPA in the Austin, Round Rock, or Georgetown. 

We both know a round peg doesn't fit in a square hole : )Btw, I hope this conversation isn't construed as being contentious!  

I also know Denver is perfect year round because of the ski season and not to mention marijuana at all times of the year.

I wouldn't put so much importance on 8k in funds - most seasoned investors would view 8k as a rounding error.

I have a single family home in Round Rock that is a rental property. 

Through several rounds of Q&A and providing all the documents requested I was told the deal could be done at 6 points interest only for 6 months.

You know I'm in shorts year round!
