I tried following up with him more regularly but he didn't get the hint.

The security deposit is to be used for unpaid charges, cleaning, and repairs.

They will recognize your default is “no” and that when you come to them with a “yes,” it is a strong opportunity.A while back, I was on a long run with a friend, Weston, whom I regularly trained with.

I would get rid of all of them immediately and clean that place up.

for "regular" residential investments, the maintaining the limited liability aspects can actually confound and/or make it prohibitively expensive for a single investor to do. 

Works like a charm and there is no messy wax to clean up. 

@Mason JeffriesYes, sounds like your issue is because you are renting out rooms, as opposed ot a whole unit...As mentioned, for a "regular" rental, lenders will take your SchE portion of your return, back out the depreciation being a non-cash deduction), take 75% of the rents, then re-calc your profit/loss. 

Like iwill do all the handling from cleaning,  answering to guests, bookings etc and I'll just pay my partner a percentage for letting me leverage her hosting power To run my airbnb business?

That fit is too much work for a regular house hacker who does not have a reno loan and it can't be lived in as-is and not enough meat on the bone for a flip for a full-time investor or contractor.

And I travelled the country for 10 years w/o and then w/ kids so agreed - well stocked is really nice if it's large parties... for us working travelers I just wanted cleanliness - rather have clean and sparse than hairs/food/trash left behind and it's stocked to the hilt
