Two part question: I am just about ready to get my first STR up and running and am looking for advice on anywhere else I should be listing the property besides the obvious Airbnb/VRBO. My property is an a-frame cabin ...

I do believe we are superior though, just the market and economy are definitely wider than what's advertised. 

For his coaching he advertises that his coaches are paying members who are independent contractors & not employed by REtipster & that you are encouraged to evaluate them & determine their suitability for your needs.

Lenders are not recommended on BP lenders pay to advertise..

Especially so in Texas because the rules for on-market advertising by agents is one of the most stringent in the country. 

So if you have one unit advertised for rent on 6/1, another on 8/1, and another on 10/1, this will affect the depreciation  % on the tax return.Repair vs capex: capex would typically include all costs prior to the property being placed in service INCLUDING mortgage interest, insurance, property taxes, utilities, etc.

Im back on bigger pockets after a long hiatus; trying to start up a STR from a owner occupied 2 family home with intent to advertise on furnished finder. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

@Grayson Chao look up WAREI on Facebook as that is a big active group of local investors and a number of meetups get advertised there.
