Many of us secure our first guest before we've even finished furnishing the property. 

With no movement towards finish line for years.

I honestly believe that the cycle isn't finished and there are still good deals to be had, but you can determine that for yourself by doing some research. 

Purchase price: $234,000 Cash invested: $12,525 This was a Wholesale purchase, cosmetic finishes needed only.

The excise tax is still due in the year of the sale, and the gain is included in your Tennessee taxable income even if the property is exchanged for another investment property.

Ask whether your landlord policy includes coverage for these losses, and if not, what the increase in premium would be.In addition to your first-party property insurance and your own liability insurance, make sure your contractors and subcontractors have solid liability insurance, and include you as an additional insured on their liability policies.

Make sure you have a good cleaning crew lined up and that they understand the tight window between checkout and checkin.My very first Airbnb guest arrived right at checkin time and my cleaner had not finished cleaning the unit!

Quote from @Neil Narayan: Silicon Valley-based Colovore, which develops data centers that use liquid cooling, has acquired a 30-acre tract in Hutto where the company is slated to build a $500 million, 180,000-square-foot data center and a 13,000-square-foot flex office space.The ABJ has identified 19 data center projects in the greater Austin area in recent years, which are expected to include at least $25 billion in capital investment — likely an undercount — spread across millions of square feet of building space, along with thousands of jobs, primarily in construction. data centers are a boon to construction but once built dont really move the needle on employment..

The 10 are here, just need to finish paying and the next 20 will be here over the next month.
