If something goes south with a guest and Airbnb sees you may have taken communication off platform...whether you did or not...they'll take the side of the guest no matter what.

So high property taxes doesnt matter much as long as growth potential is there long term.  

It is not the only thing that matters though.

It doesn't matter - You as the big bad rich landlord have a target on your back and will be named to the lawsuit and your insurance carrier will rush to settle it quickly and then you'll be dealing with the long term challenges of having that claim in your insurance history. 

And it doesn't matter if it is owned in your personal name or LLC.You may find some benefits to having a real estate license when buying/selling, but you'll also introduce some new problems.

It doesn't matter if I lose out on 50k from an inspection.

It's very smart to figure out your LTR metrics as a backup, and that should give you the confidence to try out STRs no matter your findings!

That almost doesn't matter.

So, i guess to your point its a matter of preference in regards to working with a buyer or negotiating a wholesale contract.

No matter of plumbing is brand new or too old, eventually too much TP will clog it.
