As with prettY much all commercial real estate firms and investments, future returns may not match the BOOM period - the golden age of MF - from say 2018 to 2022.

I think I am after the golden 10k/mo net income from real estate.  

This is the golden ticket that's so hard to find right now.

You'd likely run into IRS "personal use" rules that may limit how much of the expenses you can deduct and/or the timing of when those deductions could be realized.See:  https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc41A CPA could explain how it would really work in plain English :)EDIT:  If you had 12 of them, lived in each one for 30 days/year, and rented each out at fair market rent for  300+ days per year, sounds like you'd be golden!

Last but not least, one of the Golden Rules of Real Estate is that cash-flow and profit are made on the purchase!

With all of that being said if you find the golden goose that allows you to Airbnb the property , you can definitely benefit from cleaning it yourself and not charging a cleaning fee which will make you much more competitive and attractive to guests.

Thank you this is golden info! 

Granite counter tops(because it’s cheap and holds up well) lights without globes(globes get lost), I refinish hardwood floors if they are there already(natural with satin finish because it shows less scratches).

Don't know if SC is different but a QCD in SC does not require the derivation section to show the previous owner and where their deed was recorded.I was recording a QCD 2 weeks ago and the Register of deed clerk told me she couldn't file this without the derivation section (that is required on a General warranty deed or a special warranty deed).I showed her that this was a QCD and she pretty much said "my bad" that I was correct and recorded it.I can give you a QCD to the Golden Gate Bridge with no burden of proof that I own any of it, but if I don't own any of it you got nothing.
