Videos are neat but not sure about a 3 minute one costing $4k.My recommendation would be to start with the above to see how bookings go first and then you can consider adding video down the road.

I'm afraid if I just trim them I am just kicking the can down the road and will have to keep trimming them every few years.   

This allows you to hold the property longer if necessary, wait for market conditions to improve, or even refinance down the road if you want to pull out equity for another investment.I had a friend who was in a similar position a couple of years ago.

Is there time limits to convert, I understand that there may be depreciation recapture, but if I keep that as a primary residence say for 20 years or longer am I going to have problems with IRS. or at some point way down the road there will be depreciation recapture or does that go away after awhile.

I think the spirit of what they are trying to do is good, but I can see these rules causing all kinds of issues down the road. 

Let me ask you this: is it fair to require a natural-born US citizen to submit to a credit/criminal background check, but then waive that requirement for someone in the country illegally? 

Take a nice road trip. 

We needed to take a shuttle to BPCon (signage on road in would have been nice).  

It has middle-of-the-road tenant/landlord laws—evictions do take around 3-4 months, but there's a clear process to follow.Beyond that, Detroit is an emerging market with a lot of potential.

What source do you use for:- screening criminal background- how much they make- any step by step that would be good to get them in.
