I pay 4000 a year in taxes for a brand new single family home I can only collect 1100 a month on....4 months of rent to just cover property taxes,  insurance is another 4000k.... that's 8 months gone.

Unfortunately, we live in California so we would have to pay significant capital gains if we sell.Hi Scott, depending on the property and if you’re willing to invest in quality interior design, you could make more money as an STR.
