I have studied things and I feel I would only make maybe an extra grand a year and frankly I don't want to squeeze every last time out of people coming for vacation.Most of our guests are regular people.

Granted there is a cost in hiring an agent, Having someone analyze each deal with localized knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

Consult a tax professional to optimize deductions and explore strategies like Real Estate Professional Status or short-term rental loopholes to apply depreciation to non-passive income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Airbnb operates as an interest-based algorithm, rewarding listings that grab attention and keep potential guests clicking.

They've also said that you'll need to show something to prove that you've had at least one 2+ day guest stay in the last 6 months (to be grandfathered in), and recently have assured that your permit will be transferable should you sell the home.

The goal is to complete renovation within 6 months in between guests and then refinance in the next 1-2yrs to pay off the seller in full!

The accredited investor status question should be addressed by the investment sponsor, regardless of the comments you read here.

Only other initial question I'll leave here is that I'm looking for REI mentors and hope to find a few on BP willing to share a few gold nuggets to those willing to slog it out in the mines the smart or hard way.

I suggest having smart TVs and let them log into their own accounts, preferably with a guest mode so they auto-log out after a certain number of days.For catering to families, I would concentrate on providing amenities like puzzles and games.
