Significant benefits are the marketing and management. 

STRs also avoid automatic classification as passive if rented for seven days or fewer per tenant.To maximize tax benefits, maintain detailed logs of all hours worked on activities like tenant communication, cleaning, maintenance, and marketing.

I have a rental property I put on the market for rent, do you guys have or know where to get a yearly lease agreement I can use in Phoenix, AZ? 

@Dennis Bragg, how did you factor improvements and market appreciation into the buy-back price?

I’d recommend a local market if at all possible.
