The students usually arrive in town around the middle to end of August and leave around the middle to end of May. 

After that's gone they are on their own for coffee.There is also a variety of tea bags and sugar/fauxsugar/creamer.After having a few guests mention how they arrived very late at night after flight delays, etc, I firmly believe not having to leave the VR find coffee that next morning has made a few guests very happy.

Do I get extra points if I arrive at the 1031 because a tenant exercised an option to buy?

If you are good to them I'm sure they would have many new military arrivals to rent your place.

A good tenant can come to you in various ways, and various times and with some restrictions on when they can arrive at the location to see the property.

Figure out where you want to arrive, and the journey towards it becomes easy. 

I'm not sure if this has arrived in Pennsylvania yet, but what you're describing is a Series LLC, where one LLC contains all of your "other" LLCs.

A - airbnb is a lot of boring work (cleaning, waiting for guests to arrive, etc) and is seasonal.

When the end of fixed term arrives, if I don't like the tenant, they're out, and I rerent at market rate.maybe it's time to consider fixed term leases instead of "term not specified".Existing law specifies that a hiring of residential real property, for a term not specified by the parties, is deemed to be renewed at the end of the term implied by law unless one of the parties gives written notice to the other of that party’s intention to terminate.

@Ned Gorges if your federal tax return is correctly filed you will be claiming all the deductions for which you qualify to arrive at the correct taxable income.
