Another item is, my logic at purchasing this property was to spend less than what I am paying for my current living expenses and it is about there.

That's why I was leaning to foreclosures so I can do full cash (heloc) purchase.The other part I need to get more fluent in is how to document all of those action items in the LLC to keep the corporate veil. 

Generally, only 1 or 2 years of  business and personal tax returns (depends on how long your business has been around) should be the only additional docs needed for most self employed vs W-2 wage earners.and the items mentioned above are not relevant for a qualified borrowers (and some are down right incorrect). 

Do you have a specific model for the electrical heat pump you used?

They cut operations staff down to bare-bones, cancelled over 1,000 listings with no notice, and moved entirely to a revenue-share model (which is why they eliminated those 1,000 listings, as they were non-revenue share). 

I simply said the issue wasn't a lease item, but he was welcome to walk over and talk to my tenant...he never did.

Here is a model for asset protection that doesn’t require any “exotic” movements1.

STR during peak and MTR during offseason is probably a good way to maximize your rent.But I'm just adding my two cents on MTR when its the sole renting model that some people have.

I like the investment model and the platform is nice and clean and seems like they offer very nice properties.

As a GC I can advise try to retain control of your finishing material orders (anything where you need to make a choice ((tile, flooring, lites, faucets, tubs)) vs. construction materials (2x4s, mortar, shingles)) because we get those discounts on the finishing items and we keep them!
