I've never seen such a mismanaged business.

The local economy seems to be centered around these types of businesses. 

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

I remember studying your business model early on through your posts and early podcast episodes.

You can ask (if it's not obvious) what the nature of the disability is and what task(s) the dog has been trained to perform.

Hi friends!  I have a LTR property in the Springs and it's in an LLC.   Do you know if I am able to get a HELOC on the property even though it's under an LLC?  If so, how did you go about finding a lender?

As far as LLC structures and tax strategies you should find a CPA who has experience with real estate and small business.  

The property that you sell and then purchase through a 1031 Exchange must be held for rental, investment (capital appreciation), or used in a business. 

There are a handful of active agents here on BP in the Portland area (including my business partner and I) who would be good places to start.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.
