that will that will cost me 2 years of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW “if” NOTHING ELSE goes wrong.ANY newbie investor  that doesnt want to defeat the purpose of investing by hemoragging wads of cash on problem properties and half assed rushed inspections look at  Roofstock with EXTREME caution. 

Commingling personal expenses totally defeats the purpose.An LLC is very cheap insurance and insulates your asset(s).

On top of that, even though NYC famously defeated AirBNB in court, there are still a ton of illegal STR's in that city as there are in many other areas where they are "banned", so there's a big difference between being regulated and having those regulations effectively enforced.  

This would defeat the whole purpose of your anonymity.
