I do know changes to zillow are happening on the agent side soon where reviews and feedback will push you either up or down the ladder 

I've sent you a connection request to learn more about your journey as I'm looking to do a similar venture. 

Hi Ian, we have 15 units medium term in our management portfolio listed in FF and Airbnb and accept 1 month stays, but I do think that 3 months minimum with 45 days notice is a good base lease term setting to reduce the frequency of occupancy changes.

If I were to put 2400 per year back towards the mortgage, the 6.375% equates to only (maybe) 150 per year that I am "making", but if you do that for a few years up front you can shave off years on the back end of the mortgage.  

We do have a large Rodeo stadium and I'm sure that agriculture and real estate are large industries here too.

There are local firms that will do it for you with the cost of about 1/3 the tax savings. 

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

They will do a 75% LTV.

*Please note: As Dave mentioned, not all REITs allow for ongoing depreciation, but some do.

Good luck with your new venture.Here for any questions you have regarding REI bookkeeping.That's what we do!
