Which made my tracking for taxes and such all look super dumb because everything is off by a dollar.

Like mentioned it's also beneficial to keep up to date with what's happening in the area your STR is located, and make sure the decision makers are aware of hosts and what they bring to the community.

some things to things to be aware of;My father and I have found the deal and will be completing 90% of the rehab.The friend has lots of capital and is able to provide large sums of cash if needed.

I am leaning toward removal because the floor is run down, the risk of increased pests or feral cats, and there is already a storage closet off the patio.

Borrowers overleveraging, deals falling apart, and platforms absorbing starting to selll off these losers. 

It can throw people off.

Legal Implications and RisksThere are a few legal and procedural risks to be aware of:Title and Zoning Issues: Confirm there are no restrictions tied to the property.

You can also write off expenses such as property management, insurance, repairs, etc.

There are certain areas of KC that play more towards appreciation and there are off market deals that generate good cash flow and appreciation. 

Obviously the answer is yes when it comes down to the cash flow, but I am particularly wondering if HCOL/high property tax areas are places you would cross off the list entirely.
