I assume you currently have a residential mortgage that does not have a pre-payment penalty.

(that means I work for Airbnb as an independent contractor, a paid, by Airbnb, consultant to new Hosts).Here is my "tip" that I send to new Hosts:"Pricing is key and worth doing some homework.

pretty simple - Insurance and property taxes are included in the mortgage and the utilities are paid for by tenant.

But you also get 15% off any paid plan.

As they are getting paid to provide a service.

For a good tenant that has paid on time and was keeping the place in good clean condition I probably would have just eaten the charge.

I’m not sure who paid legal fees but they must have been significant. 

Startup costs paid out of pocket should be recorded as capital contributions and may be deductible as startup expenses or amortized.

Rent goes into this account, and expenses are paid out.
