As far as your tax questions, I would personally refer you back to your tax advisor or refer you one if you need it.

My question is whether those of you who rent on these websites do background checks on renters or have renters sign any additional rental agreements and just generally how you go about screening renters for 30+ day rentals. 

It's a good question to ask because some would just make you pay on the whole thing.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

So we pay taxes on a value of $408,356... but if we were to transfer it to an LLC taxes would be based on $635,000:As for your question - a real estate attorney would likely be the best person to talk to.All the best!

The biggest question is how will incomes compare to last year. 

But I'm going to let you guys handle the artillery barrages, I'm going to just remain in my standard sharp shooters seat (My deck chair next to the hot tub, or sometimes even in the hot tub) answering what I know best about- however many or few those questions are.Right now all of this is just-Smoke on the water.

Hi Viji, please feel free to ask me any questions.

Its more work and you have to be available to answer questions for guests and have pride in giving an great experience for guests. 

What's the point of the question?
