I saw that article too, and I am concerned about the class warfare that's being promoted by individuals, news outlets and political parties over the last few years. 

Are you taking a GP promote?

And the IRS does do this.Here are some factors from a case.In determining whether the income should be classified as ordinary income or capital gain, the court evaluated nine criteria: (1) the taxpayer’s purpose in acquiring the property; (2) the purpose for which the property was subsequently held; (3) the taxpayer’s everyday business and the relationship of the income from the property to the taxpayer’s total income; (4) the frequency, continuity, and substantiality of sales of property; (5) the extent of developing and improving the property to increase sales revenue; (6) the extent to which the taxpayer used advertising, promotion, or other activities to increase sales; (7) the use of a business office for the sale of property; (8) the character and degree of supervision or control the taxpayer exercised over any representative selling the property; and (9) the time and effort the taxpayer habitually devoted to sales of property.

But I don't like people who promote a destination just because they happen to have deals they want to market them, which is what too many promoters do.This leads me to talk about Albania.

In addition, I own in Panama City beach that promotes higher cashflow 10% gross of purchases price and steady appreciation.

My back of napkin math is beginning to suggest it may not be a great investment BUT it really comes down to how much these properties rent for on average and occupancy... well, I guess and what sets one apart from another to promote return STR tenants :) We’re here now by the way.

The spike of gurus on social media platforms is only getting higher.Facebook and Instagram are helping promote them.

Airbnb often promotes a ton of unique homes or experiences. 

Tax sales can be very profitavble but they are also full of risk, unkown costs and not nears as easy or profitable as those promoting them will lead you to believe.

If you want the highest rent you have to promote your place to as many people as possible.
