One thing that I faced when buying a property in Mammoth is that the selection is very very very limited and people like to list properties for high prices, with the understanding that they probably won't get that price.

So if one partner wants to sell it would be just for the properties we own the two of us and would have no effect on the others.

This is not cost effective for a rental based on the fact that no investor knows how long they will hold. 

Reinvesting it has no effect on the tax.Reinvestment within that activity, such as if you have a rental and if you spend that 15k to repair the house, which is expense, you wash out your income. 

What I tell people is that if they do apply, and pay the $40 background/credit score AND are selected for tenancy, I refund it back to their first months rent. 

So I have put some thought into this trying to determine what our best path is.I suspect that most areas of San Diego City do not have enough STRs to significantly effect the RE price in those areas. 

Ahh, the old Metzenbaum effect rearing it's ugly head again 😂

As the L trains shutdown creeps in does anyone started to feel the effects?
