I'd get things going before you launch it, but it's pretty cheap for what you get.

Everything is newly remodeled.

We are really close to launching it.

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

3- the owner is willing to hold financing with the newly found information and I am a proponent of "your price and my terms or my price and your terms" but I am seeking some guidance on shaping this deal so we can both walk away feeling like a winner (especially knowing a bank will not finance the property with DEC certification of soil remediation)4- there are no comps that could be used for the property so I am assessing it like a business, purely off of cost and income basis which plays back into the "how to shape the deal" advice I am seeking. 

I'm also launching my own RE based newsletter as a continuation of my growth and to really push myself. 

I am newly to the property investment world and would like guidance on how much I should invest in my first rental property?

My quick advice is that getting a short term rental launched will be harder and more expensive than you think it will be.

Just watched an unmanned NASSA rocket blow up after launch, that can be "investors" who have not a freaking clue as to what they are doing following step by step stuff the gurus put out.

I've been searching for Airbnb cleaning services, and it seems like it's hard to find reliable options.I'm planning to launch my own cleaning service for local Airbnb rentals.
