I need someone who is motivated to generate direct bookings, especially since my property is themed, and Airbnb doesn't do a great job of marketing the theme. 

There are no public testimonials because I have limitations and restrictions on that sort of thing.

As far as having trusted resources and vendors to help.Please let me know if you want to take a stab.At doing one up here I am loaded up with all sorts of resources. 

But it's sort of similar.

Remember that finding a Realtor is relatively easy since they are all motivated to find deals for you and must adhere to a code of ethics.

2) Assuming I can proceed and put the home under an LLC of some sort, what would stop the tenant from just checking the county tax records and finding out who is listed as the last purchaser, and from there come after my family? 

You don't lack motivation, you lack clarity, I personally think a good coach will help you with what you are trying to accomplish.

This is not some foo-foo "follow your passion" dream; it's a realistic way of finding out what motivates you, discovering what financial opportunities exist in that realm, and working in the areas in which they converge.

Find a motivated seller.

As someone with househacked properties, garage conversions and all sorts the "2%" rule is near impossible.
