Baselane is a banking and bookkeeping platform that was built specifically for real estate investors.

Taxpayers should be aware of the criteria for this specific scenario.

Specifically, what research results told you these were two good cities to invest in?  

I keep finding conflicting information and the IRS website doesn't specifically mention using an RV as a STR.

Are you looking in a specific city/market?

If you can come up with specifics such as how you do your lead gen, an overview of your current pipeline and the reason why your deals are falling through it would be much easier to help out. 

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

I don't care what anyone says you can lose your *** with any asset class if you do not buy right yourself or invest with the proper syndicator who understands this.You have to be careful with multifamily syndicators now showing past performance like the new property will perform as good or better than the last one in record time etc.Some syndicators craft the offerings in a way that mind screws the investors ( talking in generalities only not specific companies) that hypes them up for the buy in.

The key is understanding the nuances of the program and making sure your property aligns with their inspection standards.In Detroit specifically, Section 8 tends to work best in C and C+ neighborhoods.

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?
