@Christa S Rickard I'm sure you could operate at 21% but it suggests that you are on auto-pilot...letting the roof rot of the place with insufficient reserves...I'd like to take a look at the actual property performance if you're inclined to send it over...

What "reasonable" is, is a big can of worms you should discuss with your accountant.It's common to separate ownership of an operating business (the short-term rental business) from ownership of the real estate, so that makes sense, and it also makes sense when discussing mortgage applications.
