A good CPA will identify legal deductions you can take to minimize your tax obligation.

I’ve had good luck with Facebook so primarily get tenants there.

Good Morning Ryan!

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

A good policy will also cover loss of use should an unlikely event happen.Re: liability.  

STR during peak and MTR during offseason is probably a good way to maximize your rent.But I'm just adding my two cents on MTR when its the sole renting model that some people have.

@Doug LearnardRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Good to see more people from SA in this Forum, I am an Agent and I usually help investors finding deals.

Good luck.

So, for those who frequently hire contractors (good ones), how do you find good contractors?
