 Thank you

OK thank you!

I am a new STR investor and am looking to get cost segregation studies on the 2 STRs I purchased in 2022, with the hope of using them for bonus depreciation against my W-2 income. Any recommendations on who to go with? Purchase prices were $1.2M and $715k.

I am a new STR cabin owner and have tried allowing pets in an effort to increase bookings. We have had a number of guest stay in the past couple months with no issues at all. Unfortunately, however, we just had a guest with dogs check out after a 4-day stay and the cleaners found fresh dog feces smeared on the hardwood floors, in the rug, and on the linens!! I was shocked. The cleaners took pictures and charged an extra cleaning fee. I have submitted a request for reimbursement for extra cleaning fees plus replacement of some linens that were ruined through Airbnb. My request was immediately declined by the guest and followed by a request (TO ME!!) for money from the guest for the exact same amount and siting some small issues they had during the stay. Now Airbnb is in the middle of it. Fortunately, I waited to send the request until the guest had already given us a 5 star glowing review, so at least our ratings were not affected. All this to say that things can go poorly if you allow pets. I do agree with above that there are both responsible and irresponsible pet-owners, just like there are both types of non-pet-owners. I'm hoping that Airbnb sees my side of the story and my experience allowing pets at our cabin improves!

Hi Amy,

I'm in the Charlotte area and have only ever encountered financial planners who want to take a percentage rather than the fee-only model. If you are able to find someone local I'd love to get the details!

Thanks!

Hello! I am interested in joining the New Orleans conference but have not yet registered. Is it too late to sign up? Is the conference still planned to go on despite the damage of hurricane Ida?

Thank you!
