Now this is an annual thing (for all new properties).For rough math, you can generate a tax write off about 15-20% of the real estate value: one a million you can expect a $150k to 200k write-offs.

I think the main points would apply to you as well.STR is great, as long as you go into it with eyes wide open and reasonable expectations. 

Some went through the process of signing the NDA, providing proof of funds, and having multiple conversations, only to end up ghosting me.I think what a lot of this comes down to is that many people start looking for a business before they’ve figured out for themselves what it is they really want, and what they can actually execute on.Here are a couple of the common misconceptions I encountered from buyers:🚫 You can close on multiple acquisitions within a year.Sure, it can be done.
