I am considering turning an extra space into a short term rental and am considering a Saniflo macerating toilet. 

@Ephrem BekereDon't know the whole picture...However, you have to remember that the net income you earned from renting the room doesn't have income tax withheld during the year.

Not a tax advisor, but generally pretty simple.Once you take a member draw into your personal name (post-tax), you can do whatever you want with it.If you're buying RE in an LLC, I'd be sure to keep them in a separate LLC from your primary income earning activity that produced the cash.  

They just want an extra $450 to do the loan is what it is. 

If you think you can only get $200/month extra from the rent... that's not a lot of room for error, should something go wrong or get broken and needs replacement.

On the other hand conventional financing can earn you a point or two more typically on your cash on cash returns than we're seeing if you purchase cash. 

Anything extra is gravy at the end of the year. be conservative.2) Just model the potential increase into you numbers. 2%-5% annually3) Where in the loop?

When they call looking for a reference I make them to a bunch of extra stuff, too. 

We did not use any extra sub flooring but the existing flooring base was adequate. 

The extra $25k is to cover attorney fees, CPA fees, and other things.
