Many local people own vacation rentals and make their living renting to tourists, as I do.

Hi Ly Ma,I have lived in Reno for over 20 years and have seen many changes over the years here and with all of the industry like TESLA moving in here hopefully some good real estate potential.

Bring something to this deal such as a big screen TV for the living room, or offer to do the daily vacuuming or something you're capable of.

What ever I have been reading on this it seems Landlord is always responsible :( which is sad as landlord is not living in the house and has no control how a tenant keeps the house. 

If you are interested in investing, then just get a property that you are willing to live in with as many rooms as you can afford.

I currently live in Los Angeles. 

Do I have no choice but  to  pay expensive attorney fees to get this done, as I do not live in PA but here in TX.  

I’m not sure I want something electronic as it gets really cold where I live.

here's the shortest version on my situation:1) bought a house for mom in 2005 - she lived there til 2011 (not nearly long enough) did not charge rent2) rented the house maybe 4  intermittent years between 2013 and 2018; filed taxes accordingly with 'income' and 'depreciation'3) lived in the house between 2018 and 2023 when I sold it: almost exactly 5 years to the day 4) cash (after closing) was @ $240kA friend suggested that I may need to repay depreciation? 

What are the best strategies in these markets and what do y'all like about the market and the city as a whole to live in.
