If you’re switching PMs, confirm who the county recognizes as your official representative before the court date.

Quote from @Brendan Winans: I Made My Largest Single Profit to Date: $250K in 12 Months on a FourplexEarlier this year, I closed out a value-add fourplex that generated a $250K profit in just over 12 months.

I wonder how up to date such systems are on the current Airbnb algorithm and as they make changes?

The dates were between 8 and 12 months ago.

The majority of my time is not in fact spent identifying quality STRs (we do that intuitively & scientifically :) - it's validating, re-validating and ensuring that they are! 

Since you bought the property in December 2024, your components fall under the old schedule, meaning 40% bonus depreciation applies in 2025.You’re right that building structure doesn’t qualify, but items from a cost segregation study (like appliances, flooring, furniture, and landscaping) still do, just at the 40% rate.So even though your placed-in-service date is May 2025, the purchase date controls eligibility for 100%.

I don't want last minute bookings to try to fill open dates left by wafflers.

I may do that just to avoid worrying about getting the date right. 

I prefer reliable lenders who hit dates over a slightly cheaper quote that risks an extension or fallout; a thousand bucks saved is nothing if you lose the deal .

Late three times is culture.Example: Create a simple tracker: Tenant | Due Date | Paid Date | Days Late | Comments.Highlight anyone with 2+ late cycles.
