But if you are looking in Cleveland talk to @Tal Tamir, he can share what areas would be better for a mid term versus long term rental.

Noone works for free for a living.I also state I am a realtor.I have helped so many people where a realtor would not or could not help.I have had seller's who state they do not want to work with a realtor.I usually approach the seller by giving them options to list, what needs to be done to get their best return versus selling wholesale.I've had people tell me they don't wish to do what it takes to list.Sometimes I just buy the property where a Realtor would not.

Think about it: The IRS has a greater chance of winning money if they audit someone showing $10 mil of total income on their return versus $100,000.

They don't assign much, if any, difference in value for a 10 year old shingled roof versus a 20 year old one. 

You can speed up depreciation exactly the same for STR versus LTR.   

So could allowing people to do 7+ days versus full 7-day blocks.I think a big part of it is the type of guests/vacations. 

Hello everyone - we're working on putting up a new area of the site called BiggerPockets Property Management Toolkit, and we've written an article on Heloc versus Home Equity Loan.Learn the differences between a HELOC vs a Home Equity LoanAll feedback welcome!

Plus, if your property isn’t right on the water, the chances of it getting completely wiped out are even smaller, around 10%.And if you’re not in a flood zone, then it’s really just a matter of balancing the cost of insurance versus the potential gains in a market where people are panicking.

This I would wager is already completed.

An offer of $34.95M negotiated up to $35M would actually put the seller down -$95k net versus accepting the initial offer.
