By the time I got out of it I lost quite a bit but I was happy to free myself of the aggravation of doing business with these people. 

I would say that is currently about 50% of our business at the moment.

And keep an eye on how your Airbnb is doing so you can keep improving the guest experience and making your business run smoothly.Good luck!

Look at your monthly payment (PITI = Principal,Interest, Taxes, Insurance) + HOA + (other maintenance fees if any) and if this amount is less than what you charge for rent (whether its Long, Mid, or Short Term rentals) and you are happy with the positive cash flow, then yes.Or maybe you're breaking even with the condo but you have  knowledge that the condo will explode in value due to some business/attraction/law/policy that will prop-up the sales price in the near future, then yes.Really, it boils down to what your goals are for this first investment.

This means you need to report your rental income on your tax return, which is usually taxable, but you might be able to take deductions for rental expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, utilities, repairs, and upkeep.When you work from home, you can deduct expenses related to using your property for business purposes.

However, many businesses choose to report on-time payments, late payments, purchases, loan terms, credit limits, balances owed, and significant events such as account closures or charge-offs.

Example: never use S-corps for rentals.Short story: forget about business entities when you are just starting.
