I’m struggling to find anything which is frustrating…..my aim was to buy somewhere early in 2024 but I’m analyzing a lot of deals and coming up short.

I will avoid this $37,250 tax bill if I sell it now (I believe it's taxed at 15%).It was my intention to hold this property for a very long time (10+ years) as Austin was been appreciating nicely, and it's cash flowing at ~$750/mo.I don't plan to buy any additional properties at the moment. 

Feel free to send me listings you have in mind (don't worry, not planning to buy) and I can give you an idea of the neighborhood and what's nearby. 

For us it varies by market but in our primary market 15% plus a small monthly fee to help cover software costs etc if it's a lower gross property.That's full service, host doesn't have to worry about anything and can forget the property even exists if they want to.We do have tiered services where it's 10% (w/ no or lower monthly fee) if the owner wants us to only do one side of it (either manage bookings but not guests/cleanings/maintenance, or vice versa).25-30% used to be more normal but that's legacy pricing now, for a couple of reasons.1) Of course margins are much thinner for owners now that revenue has generally come down across the board from the peak, while home prices and interest rates have risen alongside that.2) Probably even more important, a simple supply/demand equation, particular to the case of increased supply. 

Hey @Graham Reblitz, For long-term rentals, I would recommend buying 20 to 40 min to the north or east of Tampa and you are going to be able to acquire decent cash-flowing properties.

A great investing agent knows those people and will have a goal of you making money so you come back to buy more. 

In some cases investors were mere dishwashers and hospitality staff at the prominent Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and lured to invest buy another worker Surya Aparajita.

This isn't always their initial plan, but it often turns out to be a profitable strategy.Several clients have considered buying condos to rent due to the lower maintenance requirements.

My overall goal is to have my real estate commission checks in that company and have the new s-corp company buy units to rent.
