I.e. if you pay $1,500 in rent right now, when you are living your own property, you are in a better position as long as you are spending less than $1,500/mo all said and done, so even if you are out of pocket $800/mo, you have better cash flow and building equity than just continuing to rent.All that being said, in many markets, most deals are not cash flowing unless you put a significant amount of money down on the loan.  

.💼 **Better Financial Planning** – With the right knowledge, you can plan ahead and make informed decisions that benefit your long-term financial goals.📈 **Maximize Tax Savings** – Understanding new credits, deductions, and incentives can help reduce your tax burden and improve cash flow.Whether you're a business owner or an individual, staying informed is key to navigating the complexities of tax law.

There are lots of flaws with the argument though:1.By nature STRs do not have long term contracts with their "tenants".2.  

Landlord Response:  It's your customers that are causing the wear and tear. 

Our inventory is so tight, that the market does not give a discount for condition and without that whats the point of a serveral months long rehab project if you don't create equity.

It was a long post that I don’t have the patience to rewrite.

I now currently own 6 Vacation rentals across 3 states, 1 long term rental, and manage other Vacation Rentals through my business, Lubbock Complete Bnb.

The note is the document that spells out the terms of the  loan; like interest rate, how often pay, how long the term is, etc.

So long as most of the bookings come from VRBO or Airbnb the data is pretty close!

Glad you turned from a long-time member to a first-time poster.
