I'd break even too just to have someone pay off the mortgage and us stay there every quarter. 

It is roughly $185/quarter.

But for VRBO and direct bookings, I have to collect it and remit it to the county on a quarterly return.In the county next door, hosts are responsible for collecting and remitting TOT on all bookings, even AirBnB.

@Ankit BiradarI recommend finding a tax strategist that specializes in real estate taxation and STRs.

@Brice AlefI recommend finding a tax strategist that specializes in real estate taxation and LLC formation.

You'll just have to pay whatever their annual or quarterly fee will be.

Seek out single-family or multifamily homes with space for conversion, extra living quarters, or rental apartments.

@Michael ZandonaI recommend finding a tax strategist who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

As you can see from the forums, he is very knowledgeable about real estate taxation which is crucial.

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed.
