I can bet if inflation runs then Boston prices skyrocket, but I doubt Austin does.

From what I’ve heard, 25%-30% of profits is a safe estimate depending on your tax bracket.

Bacon is more yummy than a Christmas tree, but I bet I'm going to have a whole lot less regulation growing Christmas trees... however, before we even get to that, it's necessary to know that the inquiry is even about bacon v Christmas trees, rather than Bacon v grapes. 

Other companies people use are SNSC, FCI, Landhome, Homekey and others.That would be your best bet.

Honestly, upgrading to a commercial-grade stackable setup like Speed Queen or Maytag might be your best bet.

You might also want to look into supplemental insurance for future stays, like Proper Insurance or Safely, to cover situations where Airbnb’s support falls short.I'd be happy to help more.

It's not about being nit-picky—it’s about ensuring the property is safe for residents.

People do dumb stuff every day, but don't expect me to call bed-sheet-sky-diving "safe", because it ain't. 

Would it be safe to purchase a new fridge, deduct maybe 1/2 of cost to replace  current fridge door from the security deposit, provide receipt with explanation?

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.
