(Most homes have been turned into str) The zoning should be changed by the end of the month.Our plans is to build 34 2/1s, 5 2/2s and 5 1/1 loft style apartments.

Provided I am to report the Airbnb activity on Schedule C, can I use the net loss (from painting, decorating, repairs, purchase of washer, dryer, furniture, bedding, linens, towels, etc) for 2019 on this activity against other active income such as W-2 income?

The cost and work to furnish, decorate, and outfit a unit with the necessities to be used as an STR would only make sense if you think this flip is in serious trouble and likely won't sell for quite a long time.

My girlfriend's style or my style?

Our first MTR experience was a 4-plex, feet-to-the-fire style. 

With longer leases it might be worth it. all comes down to your investment style. eats into the cashflow but you are more protected.also, my situation is different due to mortgage cost. your one properties rent is 2.5 of my properties. my average mortgage is around 650.  

I have a pretty specific design style.  

Hey @Mohammad Al-hadad,The first thing I would say is that the cool thing about real estate investing is that there are many options and styles about how to invest and what strategies you want to pursue.

Allen does a great job of this with all of his emails: https://emailsnest.com/brands/nothing-held-back/the-5-reason...To stay top of mind in your town but also with some relation to real estate could be to email content around interior design trends and home decor.

The designer should have a good sense of what to do with your place since they are an expert in this field so I don’t think it’s worthwhile to hunt around for styles you like. space planning and layout will be an important first step.
