Quote from @John Litz: Seeing exactly what you are saying, plenty of price drop notifications but they are small just to boost eyes on the listing.

They’ll help you map out what’s deductible under each scenario.Run both models side by side (with & without personal use).Use tools like AirDNA or Mashvisor to estimate cash flow.Check local STR rules in Fairplay—some towns in Colorado are getting stricter on licensing.You can definitely blend lifestyle and investment—it just helps to go in with eyes wide open so you’re not surprised come tax time or when evaluating long-term ROI.Let me know if you want a simple tax comparison spreadsheet—I’ve helped a few folks model out these exact two options.Thanks, Kyle Wheeler

We also have a guy that goes in and changes the AC filter every three months, that way we have eyes inside and outside of the house all the time.  

I wasn’t very cash-rich at the time, so the low purchase price caught my eye.

If you ever need support streamlining the permitting side or just want a second set of eyes on a project, happy to help however I can.

Seems there’s more than meets the eye.

My eyes just rolled into next week.

To build those connections, jump into local REI meetups, look for investor-friendly agents, lenders, and property managers, and keep an eye on threads here for people in your target market. 

So many eyes on the project and still incorrect progress updates received, incorrect materials used, etc.

That way you are looking at a more accurate value, through the eyes of an appraiser.
