Most likely you'll never have an issue unless the company/person doing the repairs after the fire cut corners.

I hired a contractor to renovate my two family’s front porch and add a landing or deck to the front entry way.

Either A) you need to want a ski Airbnb/VRBO for the personal use of it but not the investment aspect of it or B) you need to be okay with some of the areas within 45 minutes of the ski areas that are totally open to short-term rentals and where the numbers are better.

Personally I am not sure what investing out of state looks like, and I would truly feel incredulous if I could get help from any of you amazing friends here on bigger pockets!

Really looking to upgrade to battery powered access control to be more efficient and cut costs during turnovers. What is everyone else out there using?

I would highly recommend staying away from anything being transferred from one person to the other directly.

You need to pass "material participation" test and personal use test, but that's for your future tax professional to explain.Yes, bonus depreciation is possible, but only on the current value of the personal property and land improvements.

I personally use batch skip tracer.

I would personally wait to buy a property until you're down there.

If you are doing this for your personal properties, I would consider Quickbooks or Stessa.
