I would be living on one floor and renting out 2 bedroom on the second floor (they would have to share a bath.)

I have been doing this for 12 years; I have never shared a wholesale commission with an agent. 

Those that respond “$0” or something ridiculous, you can request income documentation from them to justify.Don’t be afraid to share with them how much your property taxes & Insurance increased and that YOU cannot afford to absorb them.ALWAYS get an increase or something of value annually when rents are increasing or tenants will start thinking they should never have an increase, making future increases that much more difficult to negotiate.

The atmosphere was buzzing with energy as industry professionals mingled, shared insights, and forged new partnerships.

I'm curious to know if this is a thing.I know our operating agreements do now allow for us to sell GP shares. 

We've confirmed with the builder that they'll sell to investors if they go through my realtor, since they have a personal relationship. 

On the presumption it is a personal house, I would say to do it as soon as you can afford it, presuming you are looking to stay in the same area you are at for at least several years.  

It's about creating spaces that people love, enhancing guest satisfaction, and ultimately boosting our clients' investment returns.I look forward to sharing insights, learning from your experiences, and hopefully helping many of you thrive in your own STR ventures.

KY seems to be giving out grants for this, but I don't know anyone personally who has done it and didn't know if this was a good route to check into.

I track everything through Monarch personal stuff include because the filters work really good and it gives me a clear financial picture of all my finances as I work towards FI.
