I have managed STRs for 10 years in Los Angeles, so I understand the business and operations.

We live in California at the moment and I have W2 job and my wife a small online business.

Ive never used a call to action or asked for business here.

@Jay Hinrichs Wow Jay, you must tell me who your makeover coach is.

It’s a tax office, so I suspect they might be waiting to see how their business performs and the impact of technology before deciding.Thanks in advance for any advice or insights you can offer!

Renting, like hiring an employee, taking on a business partner or client and marring (even more so), are relationships that can be costly if made hastily or imprudently.Like others, I have check lists that I do not deviate from. 

I'd like to keep savings and be able to hire out some of the work (something we have not done in the past).My thoughts are to put both into an LLC and look for investors or a business loan, and purchase and move to a new home.

Hey @Jared Lyon, there are lots of people out there coaching investors that are doing lots of good work.

There are opinions on these forums and people have a right to them and people may take it as criticism. real estate is not a business where everyone is friendly and just as you have shown from whoever was trying to scam you and has nothing to do with doing your best, its about being educated before moving forward.
