Anything you pay outside of that can be challenged.I would make that payment into a dedicated bank account until you get the necessary paperwork.

Some of these groups are dedicated to people advertising their STR.

It sounds like you're really ready to dedicate time and energy into educating yourself about possible investments and I love that.
