@Wayne Wollesen Great tips in this forum regarding understanding the context in which Cost Seg is done and how it may or may not impact the bottom line on your tax return depending on material participation, real estate professional tax status, classification as short-term rental, substantial services, etc.

I don't mind putting some time into management myself to save cash flow, but don't want to risk tenant or maintenance issues impacting the property either.

I love how you’re blending impact with investing which exactly the kind of approach that can make a real difference.I’ve worked with investors and operators through Vanderburgh Sober Living, and one thing that stands out is how much effective management and resident support can boost both the stability and success of these homes.

It can definitely work short-term, but since it’s tied to your current primary, you’re taking on new debt right before selling, and that could impact your debt-to-income ratio or cause issues if the sale drags out.A bridge loan might actually make more sense here, even though the costs are higher upfront.

Investing in your future at such a young age is one of the most impactful things you can do for yourself. 

That keeps the accounting and risk isolated — if one project hits delays or cost overruns, it doesn’t impact the others.

The impact of the updated host fee depends on how you manage your listings:If You’re NOT Using a PMS or Channel ManagerFee moves from: 15% → 15.5%Increase: 0.5%Effective: December 2025Raise your nightly rate by about 0.5% to maintain earnings.If You’re USING a PMS or Channel ManagerFee moves from: 3% → 15.5%Increase: Major jump, you’ll need about a 14.79% price increase to stay even.Effective: October 27, 2025Quick Formula:New Price = Old Price × (100 − Old %) ÷ (100 − New %)Example:If your old rate is $100, old % = 3, new % = 15.5 →New Price = 100 × [(100 - 3) ÷ (100 - 15)]New Price = 100 × (97 ÷ 84.5) = $114.50So the new listing price should be $114.50, which equals a 14.79% increase.

Because the Property Class dictates the Class of the tenant pool that the property will attract.The Tenant Class greatly impacts rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.Both Property Class and Tenant Class will affect what type of contractors, handymen and property management companies you should target and be willing to deal with a property.The Property Class will also impact the maintenance & renovations you do to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood”.Why is that important?
