Here's what I'm accounting for currently:Mortgage (P&I)InsuranceTaxesElectricWaterTrashInternetVRBO/Airbnb feesGeneral/RepairsCleaning (though these will be passed through)If i'm super conservative on my monthly rate, I will need to rent the unit 10 nights/month to break even, if I am more realistic with the rate (according to my realtor who runs two STRs), i'll need to rent it 7-8 nights/month to do so.

My advise is to just set realistic expectations (I can help with that!)

We are local, so we try to accommodate requests to see our units, but realistically, with vacancy so low, it's hard to do showings.

If this is a bonus that's coming soon, the timing could really limit the number of moves you can realistically make between now and Dec 31st to mitigate taxes. 

Seemed reasonable - but was not sure if $250 would have been more realistic.

(I think this is realistic because many property with the same sq footage in the area with upgrades are going close to 600K).
