If the seller keeps brushing you off, I would follow up and try to get them to meet you at least half way. 

This allows you to be mostly hands off and have the property serve as a true passive investment. 

And yes, we always to full tear off.

Also if you have a business for just buying/selling land only and spend money/milage traveling to properties BUT don't make any revenue from the business the first year can you write off those expenses?

TLDR is I got laid off and my financing fell through because of it.

Im dropping off pre stamped and addressed envelopes, which I know is much , but figured ill try to make this as easy as possible. 

It is a totally hands off program.

Meaning a King bed, 2 queens (or bunks in the smaller rooms) and 2 fold out queen sofa couches and I could sleep 10 guests.I'm trying to figure out what the right nightly price is to start off.  

You could also lease it out for 2-3 years and as long as you have lived there for 2 years then your taxes will be zero when you sell unless we have a house appreciation pop that is off the charts that surpasses the max benefits (unlikely to happen).

There are some investors doing them as one-offs in an STR cluster and several companies with plans to make small communes/communities with them.
