Being that the new property that we buy will become our primary residence and we are buying a fixer upper, how do we get the best tax breaks for the repairs and/or improvements?

Propstream - Data creation + stackingDeal Machine - Driving for DollarsOpen Letter Marketing - Mail ProviderUsing these 3 platforms, you will be able to create lists, research properties, and market to them effectively.

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

We’ve tried other platforms on the market, but the message delivery rates were very low compared to the 85%+ I get here.

I will try and remember to come back and update what I find out in a week or two of testing out both platforms.

My goal on this platform is to expand my network and develop relationships with brokers, owners/operators, investors, and others who are looking to learn more about multifamily real estate!

Platforms like Angi or a quick Google search can also help you find reliable options.

You're right there that's not a single platform that does everything but I feel like Baselane comes close to it.

Looking forward to get more familiar with the platform
