They took a perennial loser and turned it into a winner, and they did it shockingly fast.That’s the part worth paying attention to.Because we’re watching the same kind of shift happen everywhere right now.With AI coming into the picture, some people are speed-running life—implementing it into their businesses, tightening systems, gaining leverage.

Most Hard Money lenders will have specific verbiage that will prevent this.

This isn't to say that most people don't know the law, and it's barely enforced unless litigated, so many HOAs here implement (illegally) a rule against STRs.

I wouldn’t shut a listing down over a single incident like this, especially since you stabilized neighbors, the owner, and the platform.Sometimes the goal isn’t eliminating risk but establishing that you took reasonable steps to prevent and respond when something truly abnormal happens.

That’s usually the cleanest way to implement it.Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 100% bonus depreciation has been permanently restored for qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.However — and this is the key nuance — for a look-back cost segregation, the applicable bonus rate generally ties to the original placed-in-service year, not the year you order the study.That actually works in your favor:2020 was a 100% bonus year2021 was a 100% bonus yearSo the 5-, 7-, and 15-year components identified in your study would generally still be eligible for 100% bonus treatment, assuming you didn’t previously elect out.Bonus only applies to assets with a recovery life of 20 years or less — so the 5/7/15-year components qualify.

If he can help you implement what he's teaching you, and there is a community, then I would think the investment is worth it.Would love to hear if you join and your experienceGino I called him out as a fraud and asked for proof. 

But possibly more tax advantaged in the long term because it would allow you to buy a rental earlier, and implement those tax savings.  

Hi @Dan MarlOnce a year we have this situation in Texas, in general pipes burst after a few frozen days.The winterize process that you should do in vacant homes to prevent plumbing situation is:- Shut Down Water Line in the water meter.- Drain pipes, open all faucets (cold and hot).- Flush Toilets to remove remaining water.- Protect external faucets with an outdoor faucet cover.- Keep HVAC running at a minimum of 55F- Open vanity doors and cabinets where pipes are running.At this moment don't do anything until temperatures are over 32F for good amount of time.

There are three common approaches, but the best strategy blends them:What typically works best:- Small predictable annual increases (2–5%) Tenants expect it, it prevents large jumps, and it keeps rent closer to market over time.- Market realignment at turnovers When a tenant moves out, reset to true market value.- Context matters - If tenant is excellent then prioritize retention with reasonable increases

For others, holding real estate in a taxable structure is often more strategic.Definitely a useful tool ... just one that should be modeled carefully before implementing.
