What is the optimal way to proceed?!

    Hello BP community,We are in the process of attempting to optimize our first STR property in a very seasonal market.

I'm pretty sure this is allowed within California based on articles by CRES Insurance, but unsure about how to send clients to other state realtors as a finder.My question is: If I make agreements with realtors in various states outside California, can I send them clients and collect finder fees?

She then collected rents and responsible for paying the underlying mortgages, all of them.

Fine, I will just keep the property in my name and will collect my rents and and run my business through the LLC structure I just spent $10k on because that will keep me protected. 

@Rebecca Morris The Bigger Pockets bookstore has a great collection of books on multiple topics that are beneficial to beginners.

The submetering company does not collect the payments though.

I’m not sure which one is the most realistic.BP Rental Property Calculator Rental Calculator: https://www.calculator.net/rental-property-calculator.htmlWealth Optimizer: https://www.rpmengage.com/wealth-optimizer Zillow: https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/resources/rental-prope...In addition to the ones listed above, I’ve also downloaded Excel spreadsheets from a couple of other sources.

Would you see yourself using a tool like this, or is it just another shiny object that’ll collect digital dust?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
