I'm a retired engineer and have been successfully using income from these houses to support my retirement without dipping into retirement savings.I'm transitioning my business from rentals to a franchise and would consider selling one of my houses (5 br/4 ba - the other houses my son while he's still attending).

You'll learn a lot here.I recommend focusing on 1 strategy/business model and going all in on that one until you've mastered it and it's stable.

You have every right to be outraged at the offending party and that's the tenant.Stay focused on what matters and that is getting back in business. 

How's business going for you?

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Regarding finding discounted deals......That is the reason why I started a wholesaling business. 

If you are trying to get a cash out refi, I would think the bank would want to see the correct type of insurance for the business you are running.

Would your STR business even exist without Airbnb?  

Quote from @Michael Beirne: Hi everyone,Some business partners of mine are looking into BRRRRing in the Baltimore market and are looking to find a GC, agent, property manager and an attorney that could help us affordably close on properties.  

Was the business credit enough to put towards a deal?
