@Marc Shin, Soundproofing is definitely something worth tackling for a short-term rental—it’ll keep your guests happy and help you avoid complaints.

Find out what financial problem you are trying to solve in the short term until your able to get to more "long term" problems that real estate helps with 

So, long story short, I would just get an estimate from a firm and go from there.

I use this type of system in a ten unit that I own because the cost to submeter each one was cost prohibitive I usually don’t include other items like wifi/internet unless it’s a furnished/short term rental. 

It could indicate they lack sufficient knowledge or experience in professional property management, which may lead to costly issues for you down the line.

The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the 2025 bonus depreciation rate at 40%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $100K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.
