I've been using this for years to some extent, but this version is and will be multitudes better at helping me achieve my goals.

But I've read many versions of the theory that STR / Airbnb has (until recently) been largely an amateurs game.

Or they might have PDF versions, which means you'll have to recreate them from scratch to edit them.

It makes sense though: if the turnkey operator’s margins are getting squeezed, the investor’s probably getting the “optimized” version of the deal, not the real one.I really like your point about the 2-1 buydowns too — looks great in the marketing, but year 3 shows up like, “Surprise, here’s your real payment,” and rent didn’t get the memo.I’ll definitely keep digging into actual leases, rent rolls, PM agreements, and not just the glossy pro forma.

The final version of the bill includes some major wins for real estate investors including:A permanent extension of lower individual tax ratesAn enhanced and permanent qualified business income deduction (Section 199A)A temporary (five-year) quadrupling of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, beginning for 2025Protection for business SALT deductions and 1031 like-kind exchangesA permanent extension of the mortgage interest deduction⚡️ What’s else is Back? 

I am planning on starting small in "house hacking" (or a version of it) by renting out a room in my primary residence as my area has a high amount of industry with seasonal / temporary employment (co-op and interns) from international and national colleges.

Florida has a promulgated rate system, so most companies charge within a narrow range — about $5.75 per $1,000 for the first $100K and $5 per $1,000 after that.Title/closing fee (their version of the attorney fee): Around $500–$800.Recording, doc stamps, and miscellaneous fees: Roughly $300–$600.Wire and courier fees: Usually $50–$150 combined.So altogether, you’re looking at roughly $2,800–$3,500 in title-related closing costs for a $450K property — sometimes a little less if the seller covers part of it (which happens occasionally in Florida).If you want to get more exact, you can call a local title company in Orlando and ask for a “title quote” — they’ll give you an itemized estimate in a few minutes.

That’s how momentum starts—through focus.Action: Take 10 minutes to draft your first-version buy box.

Even then, you need to work with the correct version of TurboTax.
