Having a "master" accounting software allows you to blend all property-specific info with general business info to see your full financial picture. 

We were hoping to get agency debt on this to get the best rate.

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

I would want to target corporate rentals, travelers, students.

Additionally, the property includes an outdoor swimming pool.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

We’d like to continue with this project remotely, but the idea of managing contractors and overseeing a renovation from afar feels a bit daunting.Have any of you undertaken a similar project?

Quote from @Anthony French: I’m relatively new to real estate development, having completed only one fix-and-flip project.

If no one but owner-occupants can STR... then that should mean opportunity for owner-occupants who STR their primary residences in many jurisdictions.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

Best of luck to you!
