I am probably going to try renting my unused basement for STR in any event due to incremental cash flow (STR loophole or not due) but wanted to check on the right accounting treatment. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tax-smart-real-estate-...

Things like septic pumps burning out, steam room dying, guests catching the grill on fire and leaving burn marks on the hardi siding, emergency bug treatment, above ground pool which is ridiculously hard to manage in our heat & having no time to deal with it if it starts to go, laundry & drying time for all the towels and linens, etc, etc.There are plenty of things we can and will get better at, but I'm prioritizing the stress level of my people as well as the very near disasters we've narrowly avoided, over the little bit of extra revenue we'd generate.

I have every empathy for folks who are hurting especially from instances that are from outside of their control, but filing bankruptcy to get out of debt that she chose to sign up for and promise to pay for the sole purpose of getting ahead faster (her story, not mine) seems less than ethical and Bigger Pockets promoting it is questionable.

This will be a detailed inspection of every room, ceiling, floor, plumbing, smoke/CO2 detectors, window treatments and screens, etc.

Your partner feels it’s more beneficial to himself to put you on “ignore” and has no moral or ethical qualms about such2.

She is on a month to month lease.Is it ethical/legal to kick someone out for suspicion of such activities??
