What I found with Airbnb's pricing is consistent with the above- their recommendations are for lower pricing (and not in the host's best interests).

Throw in that you can dramatically increase the value of the property once you show consistent rent rolls much higher than when the space was used for LTR, and you have a big win. 

They might not be great for cash flow but might be great for long term capital appreciation especially when you use leverage.I’d rather own a $1M asset that breaks even but appreciates consistently by 3% than own a $100k asset that cash flows $3k per year.There’s power in investing in or near your backyard.  

A carryover basis would be a huge downside though compared to a basis step-up if held by parents until death. 

The thing I didn't like about RentRedi after doing lots of research and preparing a spreadsheet with features and costs, is that RentRedi doesn't disclose up front that the accounting portion is linked to another company and is extra and, frankly, comparable to the pricing of the "big boys."   

I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

What is the expected return on investment, and how does it compare to syndication in terms of advantages and disadvantages? 

@Tom Rairdon If you’ve owned your short-term rental (STR) for over a year, it likely qualifies for long-term capital gains (LTCG) treatment, taxed at lower rates (0%-20%) compared to your 33% ordinary income bracket.

When I receive inbox messages and the sender can't even keep their name consistent between signature and account name, you know its getting out of hand.

If you were comparing RE/MAX Broker A to RE/MAX Broker B, then I would say it probably doesn't matter.
