I had a guest book with me yesterday who indicated 1 adult on her reservation and then explained in her message that she was bringing 5 people and 2 dogs. She accepted the alteration request that I sent which raised t...

In September we purchased a single family home which with minor changes was easily turned into a home and a studio. They are both STR's. I am wondering should the conversion, construction costs be counted as an expe...

After advertising my rental, there was much more of a response than I anticipated. I had to ask these people to stand by until the unit was vacant. Most of them were emails. Now that I am ready to show it, I realiz...
