And to give you some context on how "rich" the PMs are getting, in case you are wondering for your own PM business, the margins in this business are incredibly slim: We had about $1.3 million in rental revenues last year, and yours truly bagged all of $32K. 

The guest became defensive and pointed out that 7 rolls of toilet paper (12 guests over 4 days) was not sufficient (lol) and they had to buy more tp, paper towels, and trash bags.

I agree that's true but kind of a mute point imo... if you're concerned with the pex leaching chemicals then you should be concerned with the piping that city water travels in before reaching your pex lines and the quality of the city tap water in general.... as well as anything you drink that's bottled and any food that's bagged in plastic even those labelled as food safe which have been shown to leach chemicals.

I use this to replenish consumables - toilet paper, trash bags, paper towel, soaps, etc.It's important to also note that I overstock a lot of these consumables so the guest should want for nothing when staying so to me it seems like a fair trade.I have also just started testing out the Management Fee function in Airbnb to spread charges over the nightly rate.

If you sell the property you end up "recapturing" some of that depreciation, and recognizing that income as 1245 / 1250 Recapture (Ordinary tax rates) or 1250 Unrecapture (25% maximum federal income tax rate), instead of capital gains (20% maximum federal income tax rate).What is often overlooked as well with this is that the recapture is an interesting mixed bag of a few different pieces. 

For example using bonds assigned as additional collateral or structuring a deal to save the seller taxes thereby giving a better price or terms.While writing this I got a call about someone wanting to sell payments that are received from a court order and my suggestion was not to deal with the scum bag but to loan the money to the payee and assign those payments as collateral with the right of offset, that puts the payee and payor on the hook instead of buying the annuity payments.
