PCP has nearly 6,000 homes, boasting a massive community of both residents and STRs.

One downside I see to this strategy from a tax perspective: You are unable to take advantage of the STR loophole which is a massive offset of your tax liability for many folks.

@Brian Kloft I appreciate your reasoning here massively.

Stools also might add but decided against because I didn't want it to feel cluttered Garage - I almost added a massive floor rug but was advised to not, as it was just going to get destroyed within months and I didn't want to repeat the cycle of continuously buying rugs. 

Also, Chicago is a MASSIVE MARKET .

This makes it easier for investors to enter the short-term rental market without requiring a massive upfront investment.

That, a few podcasts, a few select books, and a couple of subscriptions choke full of info material (less than 100$/month), maybe a couple mentorship programs (for less than 2K/year), and a lot of action on your part and you'll be a lot better than paying $$K for "gurus".To rephrase, do you have more money than you know what to do with or an urgent need to get it to work for you, together with a lot of time on your hands ready to take massive action?

Since the fiscal year ended in June any HERO financing you do now will be accounted for on the tax roll next year.

Are they a massive company or a smaller boutique manager?

Solar will be a massive pain in the *** if you are doing this in the SE belt.
