We are definitely considering other ways to increase our passive income, such as occasionally renting a room in our own unit to a traveling nurse/resident, finishing an ADU or bonus area for airbnb, or renting parking spots.

Hello BP.I wonder is it good idea to show huge depreciation = huge loss after cost segregation with 100% bonus depreciation.My CPA  recommend not taking all deprecation  because He/she not comfortable with all the paper loss.

to Aaron, thanks a lot for your generous help, and you are a great asset for investor in cleveland. 

Appreciation should be a bonus not a necessity.Tom

As a bonus, most of them have newsletters/drip campaigns that can provide good info for your education.It's never too early to learn and build your network!

Which I see as a bonus since it’s really a vacation spot for the family when we want to use it.

Both parties are smart enough to call it a "referral bonus" or something similar, so as not to raise eyebrows. 

@Brian Davis one depreciation advantage of STVR RE is that you can use cost segregation to take immediate bonus depreciation to shelter W2 income without needing to become a professional RE individual.

Perhaps you can request $50/door + an incentive bonus (ie if you maintain 75% occupancy you get an extra $5/door).

Tampa is a great market for appreciation so any cashflow will be an extra bonus!
