The risk to you is that by selling partial ownership you may be selling a security under the Federal definition and therefore depending on the method used to find investors could be violating Federal or state securities regulations.  

And trying to set up my SOP (standard operation procedure) for me.

Hello, So I saw that most places categorize rentals as just str or long term, mtr is just another option investors came up with but in the eyes of the state it’s not recognized with its own rules and regulations.

@Mike Liu there's always a tradeoff between risk & reward.If you want higher cashflow, you'll need to get into riskier investments.STRs are riskier than LTR due to: saturation, changing local government regulations, more intense time required, etc..Regarding LTR higher cashflow:If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

In my opinion, you should only accept Section 8 rentals if you are doing it at scale in the same area and understand the tenancies and the procedures.

5321.16 Procedures for security deposits.

Wondering if there's any point in looking West towards the Clermont area, but nervous about regulations.

The only situation which I would use Minut is if there was an HOA/city noise regulation and I could dispute fines with Minut Data.

Supervise them to ensure they stay good, and have policies and procedures in place to nip problems in the bud before they grow into something bigger.If you travel a lot, or don't have a lot of knowledge/experience/time, then you should hire a property manager.

Definitely look into North Carolina's rules and regulations on this.
