The House Flipping Book here on Biggerpockets and its counterpart Estimating Rehab Costs are good resources for beginners.  

The center and county offered a discount on high-efficiency toilets, which reportedly use 50 to 70 percent less water than normal models, and requests came flooding in.Today, installation appointments are three months out, and the tide hasn’t ebbed on Boulder County’s water conservation demands.As the United States consumes more water per capita than any other nation — more than 2.9 trillion gallons per year — the need to replace normal toilets with their more conservative counterparts is a real one: The U.S.

Hopefully, I can get my counterpart to attend and get me in the know.  

There are a lot of unique tax laws available to real estate investors(cost seg, 1031 exchange, qof, bonus depreciation, 199a deduction, etc).The fact that you have an Airbnb, you likely have more gross income from their LTR counter parts.

@Bryan Noth This is proof that Austin has been way behind it's other counterparts when it comes to average rents.

In fact my greater Boston team leader @Todd Wheatley finds these can be far better from a cashflow perspective than their legal 3 family counterparts when handled correctly.

@Michael MorelliNew York State tax laws are more complex than South Carolina tax laws.Your SC return will be a non-resident return and include for the most part only your rental property from SC.Short-term rentals have a lot of similarities from their long-term counterparts...but also have many differences for tax purposes.best of luck to you in your search

A single family rental has a conventional 30 year mortgage and usually a lower cash flow and traditionally costs less than its multi family counter part.

More importantly, the cost of living is relatively cheaper than the west coast counterparts, so at least my west coast clients seem to experience a nice boost in lifestyle.

@Brennan VaughnMultifamily are a little different than their Single-family counter-part for tax purposes.Living in one state and investing in other states does add some complexity as you are now exposed to filing non-resident returns in other states.
