Regardless of the current condition there is ample opportunity to stand out from existing rental competition with attractive styling, design, decor and pro active management. - Profitability & Consistency: Last but not least..prime Oregon Coast STR vacation rentals generally do very well financially.

With $600k in pretax income I would imagine you could use some write offs.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

They promised me a 1031, they have never failed one out of 1000 houses, blah blah - I have this in writing.
