If I can do that and break even on rent every month, I'm good. 

I can do the simple math, of course, to find out the break even point on the rate reduction benefits and the refi fees.

I was reading the forum and everyone was mentioning renting for an average of 7 days or less but that's only one scenario and I believe it doesn't have to hit all the scenarios, just one.Is anyone renting for 30 days and using the other scenarios to qualify for active STR Tax breaks?

I'm not sure what you mean by alignment question but I wish I had asked how does a property manager determine if a repair that a tenant is requesting is due to malfunction of the system or part (so the owner's responsibility) or something the tenant is doing either intentionally or unintentionally to cause something to break.

Otherwise, you’re taking on a lot of risk for what could end up being a break-even; I hope this helps you a bit and possible shed some light on some things that maybe were overlooked, I sent you DM on BP, hope you can assist.

Real estate can help you break free from a demanding job, but only if you work smart.

I finally was able to break free from the analysis paralysis And take the plunge.

I can rent it myself and break even, and consider myself lucky to not have more damage done. 

Aim to break even (or close), and look for value-add opportunities to build equity immediately and over time.

The way you break down modeling from both the ‘pay us’ and ‘don’t pay us’ sides makes a ton of sense.
