The problem is NOT the use of remote entity as any fraudulent  activity will fall back on the individual performing fraudulent acts.  

Hey Luis, wish I had some advice but never seen that done successfully on a househack. 

I have never performed a brrrr on a mobile home, but my most successful BRRRRs are where rehabs add the most value.  

@Paul Bogard going to assume you are buying this proeprty to live in while you "house hack".First, you should understand +95% of real estate agents ONLY know how to sell owner-occupied properties and are almost useless for investors:(Find an agent that has rental properties themself or can PROVE they've got successful repeat investor clients.Secondly, you can greatly improve your cashflow by renting out your other bedrooms.

Not true at all.If you want to successfully run an STR you need to be on both AirBnB and VRBO at the very least, PLUS run direct bookings.

I've got 2 condos, a 2 bed at Maui Banyan and a 1 bed next door at Kihei Akahi.I'd definitely agree with @Patrick Franta - from my experience as well, the 1 bed unit has performed better.Also props to @Mike Neubauer for sharing his knowledge and experience with me - I'd definitely recommend you take him up on his offer if you have questions etc.I recently heard that the County of Maui is considering a ~50% increase in property tax for short term rentals from the current $9.37 rate to $15.41, equal to what time share units pay.

Note I am not stating I find this ideal, but if an operator has outstanding performance record, I may be able to tolerate sub-par communication.  

She's a wonderful person and is successful in the STR space in Pittsburgh.

Alright guys and gals - this one is juicy (and a bit lengthy), so buckle up,Today, we're diving into the world of short-term rental tax strategy, exploring both the opportunities for success and the pitfalls to avoid.

I get a lot of ads on my Facebook feed regarding investments that may do that looking to hear from someone that is been successful in reducing the liability and not lose money on the new investment
