You should speak to your cpa but if multiple people are paying it then I believe it can be separated as long as it does not exceed the amounts paid and it must be legit

I think there's going to be a serious thinning out of STRs because of the overall market and interest rates, and people just getting fed up with the platforms, unless one of the newer no/low fee platforms takes off. 

IMO killeen is a solid investment. just have to watch which areas you are getting into. there are some pretty rough areas near fort hood but killeen is great because it is close enough to austin and people commute from there to austin as well. with fort cavazos near by and the new samsung plant coming online in taylor, it is a solid choice with steady demand for MF.

If what you say above is true then 1M people of fb need a license. by the way, I thought you were an attorney.

Hey Mike - welcome to BP - I'm sure you'll connect with people and learn a lot here.

Don't just look at the area overall and listen to people say its oversaturated and things are down. 

I wouldn't say that people in general like one type over another, but rather people in general cohorts (single, married - no kids, married - with kids, etc.) tend to gravitate towards certain types of properties based on their lifestyles.

This is causing a huge influx of people moving here for jobs.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.  

You're not getting people moving there that can commute to anywhere.
