Read-Only Content Full Name Antoinette Anthony Email mt.booksinbalance@gmail.com Phone (406) 223-4991 Comments As a single mother with a disabled child nearing adulthood, our financial budget has and continues to be tight. My son has not ever been able to attend school anywhere near full time, so I have not been able to work outside of our home. I I intentionally bought a home in R3 area with the STR rules in mind, knowing I would need to rent it out at least part of each year to increase unearned income. Living in R3 was not my dream, just a compromise as I needed to ensure long term ability to rent out my home for necessary income. Income from the STR has allowed me to begin saving a little for retirement that is quickly approaching and also save for my son's future needs, as he is not able to work. The income I make from having a STR allows for me to afford upkeep (recent exterior painting) and property taxes. Without the additional income from renting my home out 50% of the year, I will not be able to afford increased property taxes nor the necessary maintenance my home requires.
