However, over the last 20 years there have been no Tax Court decisions against it... so it clearly isn’t all a sham.

Architecture is everywhere among us--if it ugly, or if it has been build with only the function in mind, then what impact does that have on us?

Once you have a short list, get an account with each one and run them through the wringer to see how they really function.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Seems like the unpaid rent would more than offset the security deposit; so, anything more may not matter unless you are going to court (but I would offset legal fees as well without question).

Hi everyone,I have a few questions around material participation for an STR:1) Activities that count: does anyone have a list of things we know for sure count (eg based on court cases?)

Since I cannot evict your tenants, I would be forced to take you to court and evict your mobile home.

Unfortunately, they haven't had much success when they actually go into court trying to enforce it.

While you shouldn’t categorize all tenants and it’s the landlords responsibility to properly screen, the tenants who reside in better situated housing and pay higher rents are more financially responsible meaning lower rate of rent loss and will generally take better care of the property which combined will result in less time allocated towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).
