Hi everyone,I'm looking to buy my first STR in coming months. I live in the midwest and am focusing in on Lake Houses/Cabins. I found what looks to be a nicely rehabbed lake home that I believe could do quite well. ...

There are a lot of unique tax laws available to real estate investors(cost seg, 1031 exchange, qof, bonus depreciation, 199a deduction, etc).The fact that you have an Airbnb, you likely have more gross income from their LTR counter parts.

@Sam CollinsYou may want to reach out to @Michael Plaks who is based out of Houston.Texas is one of the unique states that require the filing of an LLC Franchise tax return even if the LLC is a single member LLC.This filing obligation is not known by many outside of Texas.Best of luck to with your choice.

Out-of-state investing does present unique challenges but also provides the valuable benefit of portfolio diversification. 

The market is very unique here to say the very least.

I've run into difficulty finding a lender that will do a cash-out refi due to the mobile homes and was hoping to tap into the BP pool of resources, if any of you know of or have used a lender that I can contact for this unique type of loan. 

Risk acceptance and goals are the two main factors that are unique to you.

I find it unique that people are saying their ethics would compel them to write a negative review.

I am building a home in Florida. It will be a second home but also part time rental.  it wil cost 500K but homes exactly like it or some with  less upgrades are selling for 650- 700K quickly     Should i get a regular...

This is common and fairly frequent.One thought on the discrepancies is builder filed plans to build one floorplan with the city and built a different one, but who knows where it went different.While lots of people try to calculate prices/sqft and maybe even rent/sqft, I don't think that is always fair and accurate as locations are different, lot sizes different, and every house is unique in some way.
