@Grant ShipmanIn my experience with these units are very difficult to manage and people at the 30% level also create a new set of problems.

Was wondering if other people went down this avenue

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

I am not a bankruptcy expert, but isn't that procedure used to release people from existing debt but not monthly expenses.  

When we were selling, people loved the "aged" look, and it was a big selling point for that house.

For example over the last four to five years a lot of people went out and bought STRs thinking it was going to be a great investment only to find out that the numbers did not work a year later and needed to try to use it as a LTR to make ends meet. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Just curious what people have ran across to build these days?

So, I've closed hundreds of loans for people.
