I found the link on VRBO:https://www.vrbo.com/connectivity Maybe it's been there for a while?

For example, if I send my son money for books, can I do so as a property manager fee so that this is also tax deductible.4) If my son, finds the monthly payment to be to much while he is in school and I end up shouldering some of the costs, how long per IRS rules can I carry a loss on the property.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

While I am no expert, I would be happy to help if you think that I can be a resource.

Since I'm not a pigeon forge local, I also don't have a good feel for the appropriate cost of goods and services either.While I don't necessarily suspect anything nefarious from the management company, I don't now that our financial incentives are always well-aligned. 

I don't want to have to paint an entire wall (multiplied by the number of walls that have had nails in them) every time a tenant moves out.

While you’re here.

While it may seem daunting at first, beginning with a clean slate allows you to establish clear expectations and build a strong landlord-tenant relationship from the outset.

I’m not trying to second guess you, just trying not to make you feel like a peasant while I do important stuff. 

I spent a couple months in Orlando back in 2022 for while working with Main Street Renewal.

I like your suggestion of targeting a property with existing tenants and minimal work needed so I can ease into the process while building my network of contractors.
