@Alex GarridoInvesting in Panama City would work out for short term rentals because you could pay for the holding costs and maybe profit nicely while hopefully the value of your property increases over the long term.Unfortunately, it’s illegal to rent for less than 45 days and personally I’d never suggest anybody gets into an illegal business overseas.I’ve come across a couple rare buildings in Costa del Este who have a permit but, as you could expect, it’s reflected in the price.

But I have no interest in doing any of those things because I'm busy, so I pay someone else to do these tasks for me.  

It’s a great deal and overall renting 1 side pays the mortgage…and yes I’m am going to be hiring TrueBooks as my tax advisor soon!

I also pay for performance, meaning if my selling realtor gets my full net-price or better, I bonus them an extra .2% (which would be $2,400 in this example).

It's fast and easy and the guest/tenant pays for it.

I should be paying the entire amount back no later than April of 2023 and maybe as soon as January 2023. 

I am going to have my tenant pay rent online directly into my new checking account.

I currently have student loan debt of $70k that I am trying to focus and pay off completely within 3 years.

I finally found one at 20% higher than I was paying, but with a higher deductible and greatly reduced coverages (loss of rent from one year to 3 months, liability from $500K to $300K, everything else cut or excluded).Personal opinion (I work in insurance) and those of pretty much everyone I've spoken to in the industry feel we are at least a few years away from anything softening. 

For those of who have/use a bookeeper, how much are you paying?
