We enjoy living here much more than I ever expected - I'd even say I love it here - but at the same time there always seems to be a bit of underlying concern over the growth, when the next recession is going to hit, and sustainability in general.

Seems like that might be a bit challenging seeing as the house was built on concrete slab (so, my extremely limited understanding is that it might be a much more costly endeavor to build out an additional kitchen/bathroom because of plumbing issues, for example?)

So for the rehab, the plan is to replace all of the major components of the home: New HVAC unit (with additional duct work), new roof, new pool equipment, and an expansion of the driveway.Smaller items will be to redo all of the bathrooms, frame up walls to split the home in 2, and a new kitchen in the studio.Final Thoughts:    I hope everyone enjoyed this original post.

There is a book for rural investing that you may enjoy: The Happy Couples Guide to Real Estate Investing.

Unless you really enjoy the face to face aspect, one does not need to be local to their CPA - many of us work remotely with investors from all over the country from mom and pop investors to large syndications.Likely many of your questions should be answered at the drop of a hat by the accountants here on BP as we all live and breathe real estate taxation, or it is something they can get you an exact answer rapidly if it truly is on the messier side.Best of luck in your search!

Best of luck in all your endeavors.

I actually enjoyed getting up on new tax laws and even doing my taxes.

Thanks @Jason Hartman I appreciate it and enjoy your content.

Welcome to BP 🙂 I’ve never done a house hack before, but I have sublet out rooms in a house that I’ve rented in order to reduce my overhead, while still enjoying the amenities that a house has to offer (mainly garage & backyard).

News for FLorida STR owners: “The lawsuit “seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental liberties that citizens of the United States enjoy free from government interference” and asks a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order or injunction prohibiting enforcement of the governor’s order.DeSantis issued a March 27 executive order that blocked people from renting vacation properties during the public health emergency, but he allowed hotels, motels, inns, resorts and time-share facilities to stay open.DeSantis said the vacation-rental ban was necessary to discourage people from other states, such as COVID-19 “hotspots” Louisiana and New York, from traveling to the Sunshine State and spreading the highly contagious disease.
