In the distant future, it might become our home, but not in the near future

I know that in the future we will have some sort of market downturns and you could lose all that you acquired with properties that target low paid workers.Behavioral issues are a significant concern.

Quote from @Don Konipol: Everything is good, wonderful, well worth the money, an investment in your future, member of a tribe, the networking alone is worth the money, yada, yada, yada.  

Nowadays many vacation homes are priced as STR businesses with profits baked into the price (with future guests expecting instagram furnishings).  

They get a faster and easier sale because buyers can imagine higher future rents.

With the current market conditions, I can definitely see more of these type properties becoming available in the future.

The type of information needed depends on if the building is being constructed in the future or if the building already exists.

If I get motivated enough in the near future I may do more research and experimentation with it.  

Essentially you are creating future tax free income by being able to roll over these losses.If your income is between $100,000 and $150,000, a portion of that $150 loss is deductible and the rest rolls forward.If your income is less than $100,000, your loss is fully deductible - and THAT's the cool thing about rental income.
