From analyzing deals to exploring creative financing, I’m realizing that success in this business is about persistence, relationships, and constantly improving. 

That’s just smart business.

It blows my mind that you can actually start and operate a legitimate business in the US without telling the government (not the public) the name and address of the owner.

Paid off HELOC, paid off business credit ($70k) that was personal guaranteed.

Its ugly but its part of the business. 

If someone wants to leave the business, how is this handled? 

It seems like every city, county, and state has its own rules, permits, and tax requirements for short-term rentals, and I’m finding it overwhelming to navigate all the different layers of compliance.For example, some places require business licenses, transient occupancy tax permits, or even special zoning approvals.

You could also bring on a business partner that specializes in sales/marketing to lead that side of the business

Do a little research on using CC's for your business and paying 0% interest - there are quite a few people who teach about this.

Currently I and my business partner own 2 town houses, one is a 4 bed 2 bath.
