Until 2018, when it was closed due to low revenue and high maintenance costs 2.

On paper some of these buildings had amazing metrics, excellent cash on cash returns, cap rates, etc, but when I looked at the buildings I found the neighborhoods were rough, there was poor management in place, there was lots of deferred maintenance to address.

They tend to have more stable tenants, no shared yard maintenance, and better long-term appreciation potential.

Compare this to your total monthly costs, including mortgage, insurance, taxes, vacancy and maintenance.

Additionally, transitioning certain activities, such as maintenance and repairs, to be conducted directly through the business entity could strengthen your position for claiming deductions.

I also own a water restoration and general maintenance business in the area and the amount of STR owners that we have spoken with is insane.  

Any special type of flooring that you recommend to make it look better and less maintenance over the time especially when there is turn around of tenants.

I am NET cash flowing just over 1k (includes maintenance, repairs, cap-ex, vacancies, utilities), which is pretty good considering this is in SoCal.

When you do things the right away all the time, you can't be pressured by a high maintenance tenant.

Not big enough for full time maintenance, so how do you staff that?
