I wonder if building condos that are more affordable for people to purchase could be good.

Id love to see how other people keep track of their rentals and ways to vizialize growth. 

I work in 2 very different areas, one being a metropolitan area consisting of 215K people, and a vacation region called the Pocono Mountains which is very seasonal, however it consists of some amazing STR opportunities.

That said, I can totally be off in any of those assumptions - that's what they ultimately are.. guesses.. but they are guesses based on reading a lot, researching, talking to people, and adding a padding that I thought would be "fair" for the items that are not actually factual (ie. insurance/loan/etc). 

W2s, personal homes and K1s are usually straightforward and can be DIY-ed by most computer-savvy and financially-savvy people.

I suspect part of the reason might be because I have a no-alcohol policy for my property, which I understand might draw a lot of people away to some extent.

She will get a nice surprise next week when I show up at her door to (a) announce that I am her new property manager and (b) notify her that I will update her information with the collection agency she's been hiding from.Screen your applications, people!

There are people who have an entire business helping you set up and design a STR relatively quickly (3-7 days) depending on size of home and complexity but you are going to be paying a bit of a premium but you do save on the headache.

I have talked at length with CPAs and IRS people about it and it can cause you a problem.

Some people like having just one account for all their properties.
