.- Stocking Essentials: We make sure that all necessary items, like toiletries and linens, are available for guests.7.

I only recommend this route if furnishing the STR is not the long item.  

But if the replacement property has less value in section 1245 items, you do have to compute the difference (which pretty much requires a cost seg study on the acquired property), and then you have 1245(b)(4) recapture on the difference.

It depends on the item.

This is a garden home and the yard is fenced in with a 10 foot privacy board in board fence The neighbor stated it was making her violently ill and that it is a health hazard for her as it was coming in through her vents and or windowsshe has also been known to harass my last tenant, and sending us text that trees are too close to her home telling us that we need to cut it because there were branches over her skylight and she claims that it was scratching the cover. she called the city when the last tenant had to sell all of her items at an estate sale due to loosing her job and having to move from the property and cited that she was in violation of city ordinances due to not informing the county of an estate sale.

I love what I do and have been so passionate about short term vacation rentals way back in the “mail the keys” and before Airbnb was an item.

Thanks so much for thoughts on any of these items!

What I mean is, if you are thinking $50,000 down, plus closing cost, plus fix up cost, plus time on market to get rented as your foot in the door cost to get up and going- you might want to add an extra line item for additional time and additional costs associated with this type of scenario.

Does anyone have suggestions on the items they find most important?
