Hi Daniel,What I mean by "bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties":This comes from when you hear people talking (including people on the BP podcast sometimes) and they talk about "Detroit" they might say "that's a bad market to invest in" "tenants don't pay" etc...That bad reputation comes largely from inexperienced (often times OOS) investors being attracted to the number of houses for < $50k.

Are all tenants paying on time?

I want to sell it and use the money to buy a primary residence.I am wondering what the tax implications will be, such as capital gains, paying taxes on items that I have written off/deferred, etc. 

However one thing I didn't anticipate was, while the aged sewer line could easily hand two people living in the property, when my tenants moved in and when the load on the sewer system went to five people, it couldn't keep up.Turns out the line had been damaged over time (orangeburg pipe) and was too narrow, so I had to pay to get it replaced. 

Sorry but the LL royally screwed up and now is paying the piper for being a completely absent LL.

In my view the amount you pay for this course is nothing when you compare with knowledge you gain and actions you take. 

If you are just dealing with a sales and marketing company then you won't have the accountability and you will be paying additional unnecessary markup.

If you not tied to a specific location, the Midwest would also be a great place for STR without paying California house prices. 

My mentality is that if I get one actionable item, it pays for the course. 

One must register the vacation rental unit, pay applicable fees, submit a current license as a Transient Public Lodging Establishment (“TPLE”), and provide other required information.
