I am not an attorney, so don't take this as legal advice, but I had a lender tell me that financing with a DSCR compliments holding a STR in an LLC for liability purposes.Financing an STR held in an LLC with a 2nd home mortgage that reports to your personal credit creates a hole in the corporate veil per se.On the other hand, financing an STR held in an LLC with a DSCR loan that is qualified only by the asset's income offers much more separation of personal and business liability.

When I left, apart from the normal political shenanigans, it was very well run with a strong government presence, military renters, and organic business growth that wasn't dependent on tech cycles, credit crunches, etc.

Am I not calculating certain risk from being so close to the border with all the political/migration issues going on around there?
