I will say, short term rentals require a bit more work, and if you are moving out of state, you may want to take a look into getting a property manager ( take that cost into account when running the numbers ).I hope that helps, reach out if you have any more questions. 

You should have a chat with your accountant, if you had a loan on the property, you may need to buy a property for more than the cash you received to defer 100% of the gain.Best of luck

I have a call out to my accountant as well. :)

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

It doesn't even take into account the pref!

@Dallas Smith, With some good running of the numbers by your accountant this can work. 

You can create an account to advertise yourself as a host or a guest (or both) and get matched with others.

How would this be accounted for for general accounting and taxes?  

If you are able to setup a credit card identical to your accounts payable accrual account, it should operate the same.
