They don’t have an office but a single person who answered.

I personally have lived in both..

You are not the first person to bring this up.

If you have performance history that is tangible, that helps too. 

It seems like a rural setting is about the only place a person could place one. 

Thanks U don't hire realtors to do this work.. no sure why you did..Realtors are not going to chase down every little receipt etc.. what you expecting performance wise is simply not realistic especially for such a small amount of money. the Realtor to be fair should have told you she cant help you with this.

so wherever you can be hands-on / in person is best. 

I personally reached out to a local real estate attorney to draw up the contracts.

How do I track my material hours on my investment property in order to take depreciated losses against my W2 income.What is the best way to track my hours to make sure I get to 100 hours and more then anyone other person involved in the STR?

Any tips, personal experiences, or resources you can share would be incredibly helpful.Thank you in advance for your assistance!
