You may add income streams to the home by offering internet and tenants insurance, for instance.

Ask what you can learn that is not already out there on the internet and what is special about this class from the other 1000 people doing this.Lastly ask for the contact info for last ten people who have taken the class and when, reach out to them as well.

Just because some dude on the internet did it one way does not mean that you also should.

Nick,I recommend "Certified Tax Coaches" and "Certified Tax Planners".Do an internet search for those designations "near me".They have tax-saving strategies that most tax preparers have never even heard of.PLUS they specialize in real estate.Good Luck!

If you're asking for free advice from a stranger on the internet, I'd encourage you to find a different STR market unless you want to have a place in Kissimmee for personal use.

Furniture, mattresses, pillows, linens, towels, bath mats, soap dispensers, hair dryers, iron, ironing board, vacuum, a FULLY stocked kitchen, TVs, cable, internet, rugs, outdoor furniture, hot tub (maybe?)

.$5500 income Minus $550 (10% for property management that coordinated cleaners, some maintenance, restocking, communicating with guests which I took over eventually because I was much better / more invested in it.)Minus $300 for bills (water elec cable / internet gas)Minus $100-150 for each clean Remember you have a 5 bedroom house and your 15 guests just spilled beer all over the place, dirtied the **** out of the kitchen and all the bathrooms, tracked dirt in the house, and maybe smoked weed inside And you have to strip all the beds and sheets and everything and remake everything / restock everythingThat’s a 3+ hour job for at least 2 cleanersNow you can find cleaners that are cheaper, but will they do a half *** job and hurt your ratings (this is common in volume Airbnb businesses), be able to show up consistently and on off times (Friday at 11 am and then also Sunday at 11 am).
