Hey Tony - You have a couple of options.

Couple of things which are critical to zero in on areas, cities and suburbs is the ability to hold an asset at net zero costs and YOY capital appreciation potential.

I recently went into a 50/50 LLC with a college friend to buy our first property in the college town we attended.

Have read many books and attended seminars and dabbled, but finally ready to make my first investment. 

I already a have installed a couple in the past and I spend about $225 on each for annual flushing and cleaning.

I have been using only Furnished Finder for my first couple of renters.

I'd give Michelle Cummings a call and pick a couple others as well from threads here on BP.

Only advice I can suggest is to continue to market future and guests to other channels such as a direct booking site, or the other housing platforms.In the beginnning, Airbnb and VRBO were just about the only place we got bookings, but now we get some from direct, booking.com, and a couple of other sites.Hope that helps.Mike

But no income coupled with personal use (your mother) would make it doubtful that it would pass if you were audited.If you have not filed your tax return for 2023 it might be worth looking at actually renting it to your mom for 2023. 

There are a couple of things you can do.
