It’s a high end build  in an in demand area of SE Georgia near Brunswick.I’m not sure what type of loan I’d need for this.

@Greg Seivert You're absolutely right to question that advice.Just because you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS) under IRC §469(c)(7) does not mean your rental income shifts to Schedule C, and it does not trigger self-employment (SE) tax.Rental income, even when you're a REPis still reported on Schedule E, unless you're:Providing substantial services (e.g., cleaning, concierge, hotel-like operations), orRunning a business like flipping or wholesalingREPS simply allows rental losses to be treated as non-passive, so they can offset other income like W-2 or business profits.

I started my AIRBNB 'career' arbitraging my Venice Beach Bungalow while I traveled SE Asia from 2015-2017 (before any regulations/rules) and invested in my first STR in Oregon back in 2018 after experiencing the potential first hand.  

of the "great photo" examples having calendars that are wiiiiiiide open, with barely a booking on them.Fair enough, I pulled these from first page results of nation wide searches (it was skewed SE for me because I mainly look in those areas) so they obviously rank very high on the algorithm.

I do have this one rented until January and love doing Mid term so hopefully both won't be STR all the time.We get all sorts of guest coming for vacation, work, Braves games, Weddings and family gatherings but this is not a vacation area per se. 

These two projects are very close to Bennah Oaks near highway 441 along SE 132 St Rd.

I'm currently working on a projects on the SE side.

. It’s not really a business per se, it’s a nonprofit providing a community service.

I don't know that their yields are that high, per se.

It's the SE Valley, and that has been my primary book of business for over 25 years.
