That's an $1800 gamble with this software.

Those rates are NOT normal, so we should still see appreciation strongly even at 5% rates.

Yes, this goes well beyond the cost of a security deposit, and it's far from being "normal wear and tear", but things get squirrelly if you have to go to court, so prepare for that eventuality!

Hey @Andrew Bosco, so you aren't going to analyze a deal like this with the normal STR parameters.This is a business.

A beautiful older house like that will have more hidden expenses than normal. 

You do not have to accept a Section 8 applicant if they do not meet an item on your application that would normally disqualify a non-Section 8 applicant. 

FHA loans come with an FHA inspection and they are more stringent then a normal inspection.

RE income is about $35k in a normal year, which is nice, but I'm one busted furnace was from that number essentially being cut in half.

Payments that you make normally fall into one of 3 buckets100% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnPartial payment can be factored somewhere on the return0% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnHouse-hacking also has considerable tax implications in the event that you want to sell this property.You can potentially defer a portion or all of the gain on the investment property with 1031 exclusion.You can potentially exclude a portion or all of the gain on the personal residence with section 121 exclusion.

What I'm planning to do is write a lease as normal, but have the tenant and the rep from the company both sign it.
