About $500  After you subtract the trip fee of 300 the price of the part  (unknown ) and the return trip and labor , AND the tenants not having a refrighertor for how long ?      

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: With interest rates rising, labor rates through the roof and inventory low finding deals as a new investor is extremely difficult. 

Hey BP community,I'm a developer exploring a new tech tool for real estate agents and wanted to get a gut check from the pros here who really focus on the business and ROI side of things.My hypothesis is that while many agents use free AI tools for a first draft, the hidden "cost" is the significant time spent manually editing for compliance, optimizing for search, and then rewriting everything again for Facebook and Instagram.My question for you is: In your business, how much tangible value would you place on a single tool that could instantly handle that entire workflow?

We mostly wanted to see what the optimal options were for this ahead of time so we can help with whichever option she chooses and set ourselves up for ownership in the future. 

Fed Governor Christopher Waller recently voiced support for a 25-basis-point cut, citing signs of labor market cooling and the temporary inflationary effects of new tariffs.

For example an optimized $750K Palm Springs/Indio STR might generate $125-150K in gross annual revenue but after the double digit occupancy taxes, property taxes, insurance and utilities, the actual ROI could be similar to a similarly valued home on the coast generating $75-80K.

If you are investing out of state you will need to pay a STR management company who's rates are going to start at 20%, which does not include furniture design, installs, shipping, set up, etc... the labor alone on setting the STR up will bleed you dry.I don't know what a little capital means to you, money is relative after all, but to me I would suggest house hacking is a far better strategy.

My family and I recently relocated to Worcester, MA, and we’re currently operating one of our residential properties as a short-term rental (STR).I’m seeking some guidance and insight regarding tax implications and optimization strategies for STRs.

This would benefit me by not worrying as much about completion time, cost of materials and labor, they'd have some skin in the game etc.What do you think?
