You need to know how to run numbers and figure out what makes a property a good flip or solid long-term rental.

I hope everyone are having a relaxing long weekend.

Considering airbnb's downtown, long term rentals in up and coming areas near burns park, fixer uppers...pretty much anything except student housing - that feels hard!  

As long as you have the tax liability you can potentially receive the full 26% on next year's filing, but you may have to claim it over multiple years depending on your situation.

I'm assuming that I could probably do an STR in Lakeland Florida, but don't think because of the location that I'd get good revenue.Who can give me some insight as to whether doing something like this or mid term for nurses has been beneficial for a 5 bedroom 3 bath house.

Greene County has a lot of options for smaller short-term rentals. 

How long will the early bird pricing last?

Read the Bigger Pockets Book by Avery Carl called Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth!!

@John BertolonIf your goal is to have tenants move out so you can do renovations I'd hold off on doing upgrades unless they lead to higher rents.However, if you want to keep the tenants and the repairs are inexpensive and beneficial long-term, it’s worth doing because vacancies will cost you more.Replacing items like appliances can be costly, so if they're working well, I wouldn't address those kinds of requests.

As long as you are both on title, I don't think it is a problem-but ask the bank.
