Regarding the advice you've received from others, the best thing to do is to learn your market. 

My question is this - does Johnson City receive enough visitation to justify a successful STR?

You will receive the security deposit in Checking but then transfer it to Savings.Savings: Hold the deposit here so it's separate from operating funds.

Receiving lots of interest and good feedback but no buyer yet.

There will likely be a partnership return required where you flipped a house with a partner and lost $120,000.If you sold the other property within the same partnership, it will also be reported on that partnership return.The net result to you is that you will receive a K-1 showing your income / loss which you then use to report on your individual return.If you made no money within the same year, you likely pay no additional taxes / get no additional refund.Best of luck.

I asked for a refund outside the 3 days (ridiculous time frame to give to clients but it tells you everything you need to know about the company just didn't realise on time) but I told them I didn't receive the login until the 4th day and that I am the one who requested so I would still be missing the login of wasn't for me that didn't seem to make sense to Kevin the manager there who by the way called me a week later.

I believe it is 27 years of depreciation that you hedge against any cash flow you received.
