She's willing to pay the rent for the next two months to be a PITA, that is her choice.Inform her in writing the need to keep the AC set to a minimum level to protect the health and safety of the property even if she is not living there.

I've done that in 2-3 of the spots I have STRs in, with that said it made me learn some different areas I needed to protect myself in once I got in contact with the operators. 

If not, at least protect your friends and family like other lenders would want to be protected.

That MMLLC would be a Wyoming LP to keep some ammoenimitty and another layer of protection for the llcs that own the properties.  

Partner with a friend to protect both interests, create an Operating Agreement, and focus on saving and preparing for the down payment and reserves.
