Quickbooks has been struggling in my opinion to meet the demand for real estate and in the recent years they have been trying to capture that market back. 

Very likely a large buyer pool will include those that want to utilize the property as a primary and capture the rental income to offset of hack.

2) Yes, you would still qualify for 100% bonus depreciation captured in a cost segregation study.

However, with our current low interest rate and rental rates for our neighborhood we could also cash flow appropriately $1000 per month, keep it and allow for further appreciation over the next three years until we would need to sell to capture section 121 tax exclusion.

They are not cheap and obviously require some kind of cellular plan, but I was able to get them to work using Mint mobile (you need a phone to activate the sim card on first, like an old iphone) Ive had 3 of these up watching a property in Cleveland, OH for well over a year, and Ive only had one issue where I needed to go check on the camera itself, (the plug for the solar panel came disconnected and just needed plugged back in) This camera in particular is nice because its actually 2 lenses that capture the full 180 degrees, so one cellular plan for "2" cameras.

Utilize checklists and capex estimators to capture essential information and assess the property's condition accurately.Take advantage of property tours to gather valuable insights and make informed decisions.

In some spots, we work some places like sponsor themselves as private yoga teachers, or private chefs, etc., and it helps our str get a lot of business and a lot of those folks recommend our STRs. 

Sellers will try to get you to pay for the asset as if the area around it is already developed, allowing them to capture the upside, while you do all the work over the next few years

You'll need to find value add opportunities in order to capture the equity to pay back the OPM.

A good real estate attorney can also help with advising on deals, reviewing contracts, etc so you will feel more comfortable not only in liability protection but you will have someone who can help identify contract gaps, tax benefits you need to capture, etc.Thanks,-Megan
