We want to ensure the property is safe and habitable, but these expenses seem excessive.

I should add so many agents here, are gonna tell you this ******** about renting being a waste, but it’s literally cheaper by in some cases thousands a month when factoring in repairs, you can put excess savings into index funds etc. every single friend I have all of whom are pretty fiscally savvy have made the same calculation, I even have a good friend who is trying to sell his condo to rent because his monthly expenses will decrease when he sells his condo & he can be in a better area.

What percentage of my rent would you charge or is there a flat fee for each cleaning?

The obvious thing to do is to sell and take the tax free gains, then any excess gains are passive and can be offset by creating passive losses via investing in more real estate and doing cost segregations.

Rental rates are coming down due to some excess inventory.

Furthermore, only the “excess basis” of property acquired after Sept. 27, 2017, through a Sec. 1031 exchange qualifies for bonus depreciation.

Buyer's agent could/should also negotiate a seller credit that makes the offer $100k, with $3k credit for buyer agent compensation, again resulting in a seller net of $94k.But now buyer has the opportunity to agree with their agent that the rate should be 2%, or a flat fee of $2k, and the buyer then pockets that savings.

Ashcroft can offer slimmer returns and still have excess demand for their offerings because of... brand.

In short, if you're not renting every week of July-August and every weekend of the winter, you're taking losses, particularly given the ridiculous prices I'm seeing new investors pay farther north in vacation areas like North Conway or the White Mountains.And looking solely at North Conway's recent court case is a red herring: plenty of small towns around the NH continue to enact knee-jerk reactions and excessive permitting/regulations as a reaction to STRs assumed role raising housing prices and shrinking supply for local residents.

I just charged a flat fee and they got a discount on title and escrow services I found this to be quick and painless ,, and whats more Safe for me.. except if they never bought it back I end up owning some home in GA I never wanted in the first place..
