my land sits (with my beautiful sign on it), I am paying interest only on the land for now (since March 2024) and I can't get construction financing, and I am growing frustrated each and every passing day.   

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

@Michael Plaks has a great post on this topic.2 - Assess the value of those tax deductions to you: The value of a deduction depends on (a) whether you're actually able to use it to reduce taxable income and (b) your marginal tax rate.As an STR, assuming the average rental period is 7 days or less, key items to consider are: (a) material participation and (b) avoidance of "excessive" personal use.

@Jacob W.It’s the same as every other transaction - trustee will execute the documents

We also bought 4 new bikes the day of closing and had them shipped to our property manager who assembled them.

@Gino BarbaroWe got a bid from Caldwell and they wanted 1.75/day per machine plus monitoring and credit card fees plus every year the price goes up by CPI min 3% & the contract is for 8 years. 

Have a great day!

I prefer a 3115 all day long.

Sometimes tenants are willing to negotiate if they understand your reasoning.If you decide to go ahead with the increase, give the tenant written notice within the required time frame, usually 30-60 days.

Seems like word would get out, but maybe there are enough smaller vendors looking for work that they're willing to take a chance.I remember back in the day there were issues with banks/lenders wanting us to take on AP for them with all the property preservations.
