My short term rental is currently set up on a 39 year depreciation.

They're setting a market in a low transactional/low liquidity environment.

As far as a strategy goes, I would suggest leaning into your current skill set and knowledge to find an unfair advantage.

The demographics and reporting is extremely detailed and sharp and shows square ft per capita/incomes/etc in 1,2,3,4,5 mile radius depending on how you set it up.

It's a good move to keep things separate – set up a business checking account for your rental income and expenses, and maybe a savings account for unexpected stuff or future upgrades.

Send me a message and we can set something up. 

The city set up a water/sewer account for my friend, but now that this situation came up, they told him they won't be billing him for the sewer charges.If we can't get the situation rectified talking to the city utility department, where do we turn to next?

You are all set to begin your search.I work with a lot of out-of-state investors that like investing in Columbus because it is an investor-friendly state and properties have good cash flow and stronger appreciation.

You can also set up with someone front-ending their API like Prycd.com.

This other GC of course needs to see the full set of plans to give me an accurate quote.
