I am proud to have achieved Super host status on Airbnb for the past year and have received hundreds of positive reviews across various platforms and through word of mouth.Key highlights of my rental operation:Vetting Process: I ensure all clients are thoroughly vetted, maintaining a strict no-party policy to protect property integrity and community peace.Strong Relationships: I am respected by the Landlord Management Team, consistently ensuring both the clients and the management are satisfied.Operational Expertise: Leveraging my operational experience from my time in the United States Army, O&G Manager and as a seasoned operator in the Houston bar scene, I run a smooth and efficient rental operation.I am now looking to acquire additional properties in the Houston area to expand my rental portfolio.

Then for sure you are the owner and there is no dispute with insurance companies if you suffer a loss. 

Additionally how do you best protect against them long term?

The system protects the criminals more than the law abiding business operators.I agree with others though, turn it over to a local competent collection service. 

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

@Jordan Holmes, @Aaron Laprade, I'd have to go into witness protection!!! 

I'm not looking for crazy appreciation or overwhelming concerned in the event of a downturn because everything is structured in protection for and against.

.: @James Hamling And with a singular "simple" quite "stimulus" trillion handed to JP to "provide liquidity" to "Protect" creditors/ business/ Americans/ etc etc pick your slogan, we the American tax payers just funded the single largest hostile take over in human history.But no one talks about this and a big % of the people reading this don't have a clue what you are talking about!

I see so many articles about the protective benefits of doing this, but my lender (and other lenders I've asked) say that residential mortgages cannot be held under LLCs (only commercial mortgages can), and that doing so can cause your entire loan to be called at once under penalty of foreclosure. 

Focus on one strategy and perfect it.Don't spread yourself too thin.As Buffet said - "Diversification is protection against ignorance"
