I would suggest a few things: 1. don't make repetitive log entries every day " managed rental, did calls" copied and pasted 50 times likely would be thrown out in an audit for example. 2. make sure you are materially participating in your rental activities. 750 hours is not enough, you need to pass the second test of material participation in the rental activities to turn that activity from passive to active and claim the deductions on your active income. 

Feel free to message or call me.Or you can always just create a new forum post and post it. 

Someone called Christoff Murphy tried to contact me.

What level of material does the unit call for? 

In the past on a different property I've called the lender and confirmed it is okay to do this in order to not have a due on sale clause prior to quit claim deeding it into an LLC.I've heard sometimes the lender will say you must refinance into your LLC in order to quit claim deed it to not trigger the due on sale clause.

You have sent me BRIBES since December and had some Cali attorney call to threaten me.

You can also call the city planning and zoning department, give them an address and they will tell you if the property address is in a zoning suitable for nightly rental. 

I've been told that Mountain West Credit Union will provide it...but nobody there has ever called me back - ever.  

You can also use what is called a channel manager, such as IGMS, that connects all your calendars on multiple platforms.

Anyone with experience here with this and can jump on a call and talk about pitfalls and best approaches that work at securing a deal?
