A friend suggested the use of a vaporizer could be the culprit (one of their children is asthmatic) and a windows company who went to inspect it said they had covered the weep holes, which would definitely cause mold.

We have a beach condo in Panama  for 137K furniture included.

Provided I am to report the Airbnb activity on Schedule C, can I use the net loss (from painting, decorating, repairs, purchase of washer, dryer, furniture, bedding, linens, towels, etc) for 2019 on this activity against other active income such as W-2 income?

Its time for me to get serious as I want to build a long term rental portfolio that can carry on through my golden years and for my children to one day take over. 

I just want to be able to provide a good life for my children. 

The space is tight and the doors will really inhibit furniture placement.  

Sharing walls with a noisy family with children or college students for example is not going to invite conflict and may cost you in poor reviews or guests wanting to leave early.

Then you could list the units, accept all applications equally, and if the application that meets your criteria happens to have children you could then have it remediated.  

In my mind it seems like it would be hard to coordinate furniture and appliance delivery as it may require a special vehicle and/or extra manpower to take something up 70+ stairs.

I have seen people hiring designers from out of country for around $10/hour then have a handyman assemble and arrange the furniture from pictures which sounds feasible.Any suggestions?
