I need  help finding  a resource or method that will allow me to see average market values  or listing prices for specific types of homes in a particular area.

You report your total revenue from all sources and then deduct your cleaning expenses for income tax reporting.

Do conventional loans even allow STR or is it indifferent between LTR and STR?

It is just an empty lot sitting around 3.5 acres…paid 140k and will need a fair share of rehab in order to prep the land for these structures and I guess the zoning of this lot allows us the freedom to build “what we want”.  

To be honest, you could probably fix the violations over time...there aren't any fines for the violations and they usually can allow you a lengthy time to make the repairs.Either way I'd be happy to connect off line of the forums and talk through the violations to see how we might be able to help!

But it allows me to keep one bank account and file one tax return, while still spreading out over multiple entities. 

That's why a good renewal notice allows them to choose, new rent or move out.

I think I will be looking at CG tax on about 120K after deducting for depreciation of about 29K but then have the recapture tax.

The cities also prioritize locals, but in the case of Baltimore I can see this backfiring if they allow out-of-towners who think this will work to try it.

Renovated a house-hacked but because of the income, we could not deduct expenses  Should we put all our properties in an LLC?
