We are aggressively paying down debt, but in the process airbnbing our condo and managing another airbnb.

We are bringing in $1700 a month in rent on an $80,000 mortgage.  

some of the issue is redefining affordable... on the west coast starter housing is basically 300k and up and we are in the lowest price west coat major metro.you can run all around the mid west in every city and find sub 100k housing and those mortgages and all in are less than rent.. what I find is there are just so many folks that in those markets look at owing a house as a liability and they prefer to rent.. unlike West coast or other areas of known appreciation were we look at owner occ as way to grow wealth.

I've contacted the management company and explained the situation, stating that we are seeking a licensed plumber and if it's ok to start the job because, most likely, it's a common area issue.

I am not able to put my name on that loan (only spouses can), so what is the proper way to establish our partnership/LLC so we are equal partners?  

At this point, we are inclined to just let them ride and reset for the next 5-year term.

We are advertising our rental property and just received an inquiry from someone with a service animal. 

We are inexperienced though so any feedback would be appreciated. 

I closed on my first rental today and we are going to be living in one of the units. 

Also, we are in the Portland Or. area so prices........suck.
