Is there a way around this or are my dreams dead because the govt, who wants to fix the housing crisis, will not let a first time homebuyer do something that is perhaps the #1 solution to making housing cheaper in a market like Denver?

I do all my own appreciation analysis from 15 years ago and it's dead accurate. 

Car totaled by falling tree that was dead

If I just keep the property in the LLC since the other member is dead does the LLC now become a single member LLC? 

I tried to use the Home Depot apps camera feature that allows you to take a picture and it’ll search for a similar (or exact) product based on that but, it was a dead end lol

So looks like about 17,000,000 in sales volume so far this year.. now to be fair and balance this is in our new build community. this is in a little Berg called Canby Oregon  the project is www.ivyridgeestatescanby.com  The market is anything but dead or bad..

If you're dead-set on OOS REI, then I'd suggest studying up on the books, articles, forum posts, videos, etc. on the subject, and talking with as many OOS investors as possible (ESPECIALLY inexperienced investors who tried OOS REI for one of their first deals).

The 1% rule in my market has been dead probably since 2017/2018.

From most OOS investors I am speaking to this is where most of the attention is, so be prepared for competition - seems that this forum was revived from the dead but to answer the original question with a few practices you can manage the air-bnb yourself to get higher occupancy, I would recommend educating yourself on tricks for the platform those will make the biggest difference - definitely helps having someone take care of your air-bnb account and for completely hands off investing do that but just previewing/welcoming who comes in can be done remotely in a professional manner I have seen it done in multiple states. 

@Sree Todu,Your intuitions are dead right -- if you carry a note from your sale, the face value of that note is not automatically deferred with the 1031 exchange.
