Maybe @Steve Vaughan but they know the rent and specs before they arrive!

2) How would you go about negotiating or arriving at a new/fair number?

Once we arrived at an acceptable price all paperwork and communication was done through realtors that were paid 1% to do so.

I will arrive Thursday 15 OCTOBER.

How are you arriving at the sale price in two years?

, and arrive to NOI.

From there you can arrive at a price.

Nine of which are vacation rentals in which no one but I, handle all aspects for renting, collection of rents, reservations, contact after they arrive, etc.....

The 12% can be just as passive as your offered 8%, because those "2% Rule" followers have already allowed for cap ex, vacancy, property management and so on to arrive at their net 12% return.

But in the beginning, I'm going to have checks arriving made out to me (personally) and checks arriving made out to my LLC.I'm worried that if one day I get sued for God-Knows-What, some attorney will say "Look at this guy, he was receiving checks made out to himself personally even though his LLC was already formed."
