Hey Alexander, I manage over 100 STR properties and I'm a real estate broker in California.

The single roof is a plus for the FP. 

I recently had a landlord at a workshop who owned and managed a portfolio of low end properties for over 30 years, he is basically broke and can't retire.

Hi all, I'm wondering anyone aware of a resource that would provide alternative options for a property that is currently listed on Airbnb?

You would need to file a proof of claim for the monies owed and hope you secured it by a deed of trust.

It's such a small area I would put down tile.

I wanted to have a spot to rent out and cover the monthly mortgage payments while securing a small spot to have for myself in the next 30 years for when I no longer reside in Charlotte but want to visit friends, or downsize.

Imagine you bought a property for $2M.The land (excluding any structures) is valued at $400K.Since land is not depreciable in the eyes of the IRS, we subtract the land value from your purchase price to get your depreciable basis.Your depreciable basis is simply where a cost seg engineer starts from when allocating your eligible assets into either 5, 7, or 15 year property.In the scenario above, your starting basis would be $1.6M since your basis = your purchase price - the land value.Having an accurate land value is essential to getting your depreciation/bonus depreciation calculations right.This is the starting point for any cost seg study that you do.

I have a good friend in Stevensville Montana who does this nationwide. 

Have you done a cost segregation study on any of your properties?
