Quote from @LaShon Evans: I manage 400 rentals and own 33.

The worst thing is to pay for a service where you don't get a benefit.If you have STR's and actively manage them, then there is a good chance that you can treat the propreties as active instead of passive which will allow you to offset the losses with other forms of income such as wages, interest, dividends, gains, etc.

.- Community Floodplain Management: Flood zone maps are essential for local governments to manage floodplain development and maintain eligibility for NFIP participation.- Risk Awareness: Flood zone designations still help people understand general flood risks in their area.Elevation still matters under Risk Rating 2.0, but its role is handled differently compared to the old system.Under the old system, elevation certificates were often required to calculate insurance rates.

Kudos to you for doing something to create a secondary income stream. there are 5 income streams in RE rentals, possibly six if you do things a certain way.The reality here is your model (buy box) is suffering from too high an entry and too high a cost of capital.

A lot of landlords use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager, Apartments.com, or Avail to list vacancies and screen tenants.

This exemption is particularly beneficial for real estate investors, homeowners, and businesses looking to manage their tax obligations more effectively.How Does the ATI Exemption Work?

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

I manage MTRs in NC and SC - our SC properties still cover their costs and then some in the MTR space even after my management fees.

It’s awesome to see you channeling your sales and business skills into REI.Those strengths will definitely serve you well.Building a solid team—from lenders and agents to property managers and mentors—is key to long-term success.
