Is there ANY hope of finding someone who pro finishes drywall after already hung and first coat of tape/mud???

Animals!

You're in Charloette completely different animal.

Last week is prorated for days stayed.No inside furniture outside, I will get a ticket.No parking on the front lawn, you will get a ticket.No stray animals allowed inside, you will get fleas.Take the trash dumpster to the curb on the collection day.That's it.We shake hands, exchange money and receipts.

According to HUD Fair Market Rental Rates for 2024, the market rent for each unit in the 34608 zip code is $1,700 per month.While the units are in good condition, consider updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures and adding a fresh coat of paint for a fix-and-flip strategy.

That is an excuse most people use to keep animals, occasionally it is needed.

Those areas the properties tend to take more of a beating due to weather elements and often require more often maintenance requests.Retail centers are a totally different animal all together.

It's like expecting a wild animal to not act so wild.I know I didn't tell you what you wanted to hear but I at least wanted to respond and validate your concerns.  

@Ryan NunyaYou are correct that short-term rentals are a different animal for tax purposes than purely "rental" income as noted in the original post.
