But unless you know and understand the reasoning behind it, and are sure the reasoning applies to you, opening up all these LLCs because "everybody does that" or "that's what my real estate bible told me to do" is a pretty silly way to run a business.Taxes and, I assume, legal issues, are never cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all issues. 

The EV charger is listed as an amenity on our Airbnb listing.Cost $1800 for Tesla charger installation.One interesting insight is that we couldn't get 100% charge ability from the charger because our house's electrical was sized for 225 amps (the electrician sized it for the house's electrical requirements at the time, the charger was an add-on afterwards). 

@Tyson Meek There are reasonably priced excellent engineering-based cost seg studies for properties the sizes of yours.

How many of this size have you done?

Generally I’d prefer to purchase 2 properties instead of one, but it also depends on what your goals are for portfolio size.  

And yes, RE prices have now dropped dramatically on local vacation rental homes.Your 5-6 bedroom home strategy makes sense and we are currently seeing the highest demand for that home size.

The difference is you have the risk concentrated on a very small sample size.

Also not all houses would make a great STR, so getting local advice on location, size, etc would be beneficial.

Describe the properties, size units, access, etc and location better.

Aside from your typical items like budget and area, I am looking for something in a good school district, and a moderate size in terms of bed/bath room count, as well as area.
