Don’t hurt your ranking by splitting your property into many baskets… especially those personal websites!!!!

Research comps in the Milwaukee area or connect with a local appraiser to estimate your property’s potential value.Depending on the rental income, you might explore DSCR loans for your refinance, as they rely on property performance more than personal income.

I'm moving to San Diego next year from Denver, CO and am looking to make the right personal finance decision in the process. 

No need for a PMS with only one.AirBNB and VRBO can handle things for you.In the end you won't save much time with only one STR.Plus, personal correspondence really works well to boost those 5 star ratings. 

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.

Second question is, if we don't live in the city we will invest in, we understand we will have to be traveling often, but who could be a good person to check in on the construction so we don't have to go every week?

.: It's not an issue IF their lease is scheduled to expire.My personal practice: when a tenant submits an application, I let them know I intend to contact their former landlords.

And personally I put way more weight on buying the right location as a buy and hold investor than saving some dollars on the front end. 

@Scott Schnabel actually, the cities of Hazel Park and Warren require a DL from someone at the PMC and write the tickets in their personal name.

It's been a very, very bumpy road to be under contract - and past the due dilligence period - on a new build we are purchasing with the intent to use it as a STR (and some personal use).
