Our market is very heavy tourists, so a lot of individually owned STR condos, but honestly I've personally have had more success in long-term rentals doing the BRRRR strategy with small multi-families and B-Class SFR's. 

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF.

For lenders/banks, quality vacation rentals are clearly a unique and reliably performing asset class..For investment properties these lenders typically require a minimum 20-25% down payment but since there is higher gross revenue, the investor can often qualify for a higher loan amount.

For my fix and flips I use the class designation (each property is it's own class).

If there is an environment created that can be construed as a hostile relationship, in most cases you will be the one who loses.

Are BOTH the condenser and evaporator being cleaned often enough based on local environment?

The LLC issue is insignificant compared to the buying Class C section 8 or possibly Class B in an unknown area. 

Diversifying your portfolio across different asset classes can help manage risk effectively.Stay calm during market volatility and don’t let short-term fluctuations derail your strategy.

What class of tenants will this property attract? 

The short version is if you go with the Midwest or the Southeast, stick with Class A or B for appreciation.
