Plus, I don't necessarily want to broadcast it to everyone here because I like working with them and I don't want them to get too busy for me

We added value by updating the furnishings, integrating systems, raising prices, and improving the overall functionality of the house as a business operation.

Although the search function on BP leaves little to be desired, it has some usefulness.

With a rental if to make it a functional, occupy-able rental you buy it, hold it for 3 months while fixing things, do renovations to make it livable. 

Bedrooms require two points of egress (door and window, two doors, etc.) so your inspector should have noticed this was a non-functional window and you could have/should have replaced it before placing a tenant.

Traditional roof materials and structural components that serve only a roofing or structural function do not qualify for the credit.

We want to attract tenants that want to stay a long time to avoid quick tun-over so we're focused on making sure the space is super functional and inviting.

On my first STR, I ripped out a perfectly functional shower for a unit that makes $99/night and tried to tile it. 

It may not be the best option in terms of function, it does make a lot of sense in a best cast scenario situation for cash flow. 

@Andrew Michaud, the ones you mention will over very basic functionality which may be good for 2-20 units.What do you think of Tenantcloud (its been a while since I looked at it)?
