It's a good idea anyway to transition to a purpose-built property management software.

Hoping to transition to in person in the summer months.

(Just outside of Seattle)I bought this deal off-market from Todd Baldwin, a previous guest on the BP podcast who did house hacks in the greater Seattle area.He already had it set up as a room rental, so I was able to just move into one of the vacant rooms as soon as a lease was up, and transitioned extremely seamlessly to being the new owner.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Your taxes will become more complicated, as you are already seeing, as you transition properties to rentals and complete rehabs and acquire more properties. 

Good morning - I’m transitioning from LTR (9 doors) and managed by PM’s to STR and will be self managing using price labs and Guesty along with ABNB and Vrbo to self manage for my first property.

I consider myself a master connector and go-giver that recently acquired my real estate license and in transition.

Strong engineering consulting (local tends to be better), Designer/Architect with a strong relationship with a Builder (ideally having completed projects like the one your proposing),  Legal (To get your offering documents together or real estate transactions) and you'll be adding more and more as you go.I started out as your traditional buy and hold landlord and have transitioned to development, but I did it by joining a team that already had a bit of motion behind it. 

Hello - I'm transitioning/diversifying from LTR (9 doors) and managed by PM's to STR and will be self managing using price labs and Guesty along with ABNB and Vrbo to self manage for my first property.

Some differences to consider:* Interior finishes* Exterior finishes* Sqft, bedroom count and bathroom count* Floor plans* Ability to add a bedroom* In-place taxes and rents* Year built* What street each property is on / what submarket it is in* Whether it has parking* Landscaping* Immediate neighbors* Proximity to transit, schools or parksMore often than not it will become clear which property is better the deeper you dive into your analysis.

I know for me, when I was looking for a house hack, the location was my top priority, followed by price, and then my strategy has always just been to buy for long-term wealth (aka appreciation) in highly desirable neighborhoods near transit.
