@Eric BarriosWe haven’t planned any other zoom meetings, it just wasn’t the same as the in person meeting but when we have the meet ups we have from 15 to 25 people on average and is always a good time but we will see about planning another online meeting.My wife, 4 year old and I house hack a triplex and live in a 4th bonus unit on the property, bought in 2018 with an FHA, completely renovated interior and exterior of each unit one at a time as the old tenants moved out and screened our own tenants and nearly double the rents and have some great tenants in place now, we did about 90% of the work our selves which saved us a lot of money on labor.

Minor repairs and improvements to the exterior of the property.

As of right now, the only thing done to that property was painting to the exterior.

While I'm there I'll walk around the exterior of the building to see if theres anything that needs attention there..

You need to check with the historic district for the area on what is required for exterior repairs.This can kill returns and drive repair costs sky high.

Examples of businesses conducting eligible construction activities are residential remodelers; commercial and institutional building construction contractors; foundation, structure and building exterior contractors; structural steel and precast concrete contractors; and electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors.Here are some additional links I found:Home Builders Safe Harbor in Code Sec. 199Section 199 Real Estate Developers Stake Your ClaimSection 199 as it applies to Construction and Real Estate PDFCourt ruling on Substantial Renovation@Steve Hamilton

My Business partner and I have both been in the Military for a combined 18 years so when a landlord or property mgmt company talks about risks... well we get risks and we know how to mitigate most risks (Exterior security cameras, smart locks on the doors, noise detection, AND a Full Time Private security team that is tied in with the CPD)Does anyone have any advice on what we can be saying different or what is the best way to overcome some obstacles with landlords switching from Long Term to Short term? 

I am painting the exterior of my 4 unit multifamily gray with white trim possibly with some blue shutters.
