Dear STR fellow investorsI have a question on advertising a duplex as three listings on airbnb/VRBO:Supposed I have a duplex, with one side having 3 bedroom and another side having 2 bedroom.

I am leaning towards one over the other three due to prompt and respectful communication, arriving on time and following directions for the showing, nice personality etc.

You need to make a profit during at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year or the IRS can go back 5 years and call the losses a hobby and tax you, and the State where you reside or do business...

Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers1.

My non-experienced opinion is I would prefer a local lender for three reasons.

I spend time in all three areas and they're all within budget.

I'm currently on week three of studying for real estate investing and it's starting to really grow on me.

I have lived in the property for the last five years. 

That was three years ago, and I have since raised the rents again. 

I recently viewed a property with an alleyway that only adjoins three houses.
