I rent to companies that operate "group homes".  

I, nor any other agent in our 100% locally owned and operated brokerage pass that fee on to clients, accept on very small sales where the commission to us is going to be too little to absorb that $250.

We are open to partnering on flips and raising capital/ tandem operating the deal. lets connect

I am looking to connect with sober living operators who can provide references and proof of running a successful sober living business in Los Angeles County, California.

If you have a partner / other llc member you can adjust Operating Agreement accordingly to have one person credit qualify. 

She has informed me that she is actively working on furnishing the home to operate as a STR should I decide to proceed.I have not closed on this property yet as I'm still determining if it will be a viable investment option for me.

The LLC would collect rental payments in a business account and make the monthly payments on the mortgage operating like it should.

Plus, they often have established connections with handymen and contractors, making maintenance and repairs seamless.

I have been operating STRs for 5 years now, and there are many with much more experience, so you are sure to get other opinions.  

Check with your local boots-on-the-ground team to learn about how that particular HOA operates.
