@Linda RobertsYou can charge whatever your tenant agreed to in your lease - whether they pay it or not is another story;  or you can try and work with your tenant.Like you say - the basic goal is not to have any rental gap.  

I am undecided on if I long, medium-, or short-term rental is the best for me.

This is common in my area/Colorado in general especially the ski towns that still allow short term rentals. 

Got $100k business line of credit with 710 credit score to buy some more properties.Do you think it is better idea to buy a rental house (worth $70k) with the credit card paying all?

@Haley ElisabethYou are not missing anything but there is what I would call good debt and bad debt.For example if I buy a property cash, rehab it and it has a $300,000 value and can be used as a rental and provide cash flow - getting a $150k loan on that asset to buy another (not blow it on toys) say $300k asset I have 2x future appreciation than one asset.

I set up a rental management account on Zillow last night.

Since that home is in my personal name, can I write off the losses as a “rental” which it’s intended to be but not quite yet? 

Hi Folks,I'm starting out with some rental properties in Wenatchee Washington.

@Joan LiuWhat you describe is often the pitch of someone doing rental arbitrage.
