-always plan for unexpected expenses-attention to detail can emensly increase ARV.

The only lies you are allowed to tell in a budget are those that are too expensive.

Seems more like a preference rather than a way to lower expenses.

- Management fee percentage and what that typically includes (my company seems to charge a cleaning fee separate from their management fee, which I hadn't realized)- Additional monthly expenses (my company charged $200+ for a fire extinguisher inspection?)

You need to know that the average daily rate will cover your fixed monthly expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, vendor services) at 40% occupancy!

You normally report your rental income and expenses on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, Schedule E, Part I, when you do your taxes.* What do I do to ensure that my property is safe legally from any lawsuits?

I forgot the useful feature of the up sell feature but for some I think I thought the expense is useful (??).  

Does anyone in a similar situation Cover the cost of Hostaway (or other pms) by charging the property owner for the expense?

I just would like to see what my daily expense are.

I have heard many horror stories of a guest complaining and getting a full refund at the hosts expense.
