This is not tax or legal advice, just what I personally do, consult your professionals! 

But I find from personal experience and from my buyers' Airbnb experience that it's a bit of a hassle trying to get guests to rebook at the new listing.I don't know how strict Joshue Tree is at enforcement, but in Denver and Colorado Springs here, you could probably get away with an STR listing for three months without the license.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

You do have to get a good cleaner and handy person which can take some time.I agree with HOA's.

And I seriously doubt any non profits are money laundering, but then again neither is Joe the Barber LLC or Betty's Property Management LLC (which, especially if they are Single Member LLC's--which flow to the 1040 without any tax return for the entity--are already identified to the government computers at the IRS.If you want to swim with the big fish you have to get wet.Maybe the resident agents will offer to fill this out as a service for $50 to $100 (???)

Just a good person too if you want to bounce any ideas off her. 

I am here to learn more about my own personal investments as well as seeking out learning opportunities from like-minded individuals.

I have personally owned investment property (both long-term and short-term rentals) along the lakeshore.

If you are sole member LLC you just take a distribution from your business account to your personal account.You are likely already reporting the income on a schedule E.

Personally (as a STR-focused REALTOR), I would never give you numbers and tell you you can hit them.
