.- Participate in areas of the U.S. federal tax code that are considerably more favorable than the ones I’ve been governed by to this point as a W2 employee.- Network with like-minded investors and learn something new that stimulates a part of my brain that I don’t often use at my day job.- Make a positive impact on my local community.Thanks to the BiggerPockets community for the great information and support!

My CPA is telling me that because this is a duplex, it might be "aggressive" to file half of the property as a STR and the other half as a LTR and I could be targeted for an audit since this is a gray area of the tax code.

Stay Zip code specific when looking at rental comps in Greater New Haven; it matters a lot for rent prices and value, especially in cities with multiple zip codes.

They allow automation of all messages, automation of lock guest codes, canned messages, automated reviews.

I will look for a local realtor that may have experience with owner financing of this sort and maybe even know the local STR codes.

Depending on your zip code, I have quite a few investors in the area that utilize that strategy as well.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

So, create status codes for both of these and a few in-between codes to help you work smarter, not harder.

But the properties I have won at auction have had code enforcement liens that had to be paid by the winning bidder.
