Best of all, we get to provide actual affordable housing in a rural area where you can't find much below $1,000 right now. 

Fast forward to this past summer, started having some issues and was wondering if anyone else works with them and can provide some oversight 1) prop mgmt agent - we switched to a new agent and we have been having issues (addressing us by the wrong name/gender/etc, spelling errors in emails, long response times, one word responses to issues that were outstanding for a while, not contacting the right person despite us requesting several times, etc.) 2) issues with communications regarding finding a new tenant - we were notified in October '23 that our tenants were not renewing and we requested that our unit be shown prior to vacancy in January '24.

They can provide insights specific to the Dallas market and help you make informed decisions based on your unique situation.

No one source is going to provide the "answer", but hopefully you'll find some similarities.

Right now we are trying to gauge is this is a tool that would actually provide value to investors realtors or wholesalers.

@Cory RayI don't think the location of the CPA matters provided that they have a solid background in Real Estate and software/tools to support you remotely.There are 20+ real estate CPAs commenting in this forum.

And more and more Airbnb guests are becoming critical of cleanliness, supplies provided, and check in and check out requirements, while also being more open about leaving less than positive reviews on your property if you charge onerous cleaning fees or don't provide enough toilet paper.

In Oregon we also buy a 2 10 and provide it to our buyers.

While I am not an accountant, and you should speak to yours about this, there is a loophole in the tax code called the STR Loophole which allows your STR (provided you are not using a PM) to be counted as active income/active expense so that the costs, payments, depreciation etc. goes against your active W-2 income.

Of course replacement cost will cost more with it providing more and better coverage.
