.: i am interested in entering in the short term rental market in Nashville i am wanting to put a down payment down on a unit.in order to secure funds for a down payment,  i would need to sell off some crypto i have in a wallet and some S&P500 funds i have in a brokerage account.is there any way to reduce the capital gains tax from these assets using real estate? 

When you sell $700k property you have to buy $700k worth of property to defer all taxes not just the amount you have in profit.  2) When you did the exchange your “tax basis” for the two properties you bought would be reduced by your profit.  

and it has some great features, but the staff canceled my training session at the last minute which significantly reduces its value (and increases my cost as I have fewer days to use its advanced features this month, post-training).

You asked about short-term rental property demand and mid-term rental property demand in other areas besides yours and thoughts on managing these properties.First off, short-term rentals are a great property class to own, especially if you "materially participate" with 500 ours in the management of your property for the IRS to consider it an active investment and able to write down your active or W-2 income with the expenses, bonus depreciation, and cost segregating the property for additional depreciation to reduce your income taxes.There is short-term rental demand in many communities in Michigan because we have so much coastline and natural beauty as well as university, business, and hospital stay demand.

I'm looking to reduce my workload and built a portfolio that is generational.

Motivation....they have to have a driving force like:New job in new location, must move before job starts.Life event....marriage, kids, divorce, retirement....must get more bedrooms or reduce expenses.Investor with cash they want to invest...especially 1031 clients.Everyone who is comfy in their house and just "thinking" of moving, is NOT moving. 

I see landlords reducing rents, costs increasing and negative cash flow.

Except we can't erase it, we can only partially reduce it.

Could be anything —• A screening question you added• A maintenance workflow that saved you headaches• A tool/software feature you discovered• Something you implemented with tenants that reduced calls• Or even just something simple that improved your sanity 😅I’ll start: For me, adding a required “hold fee” for out-of-state applicants dramatically cut down on last-minute drop-offs.

I recently began listing three rooms as short-term rentals on Airbnb, and that’s been going well so far, though I expect demand to slow down as we move into the winter months.I have an on-site property cleaner who receives reduced rent in exchange for their work.
