There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Regardless, guy did a great job so not going to complain about order of operations, but I am in a bit of pickle.

Operating as short term rental by the bedroom, grossing $3500 - 5000/mo, between $500-1000 net.

Now have a portfolio of 6 properties with some that are owned others just managed but turn key operation for sure. 

Lenders will want to see the filed Articles of Organization, an Operating Agreement that you can get from your attorney or, if you're brave and it's just you on the LLC, some people use Legal Zoom or Law Depot.
