For one STR you don't need it and quite honestly I recommend folks not to use PMS when starting out.  

And yet the millionaires are buying up coastal real estate, all while tell common folks to stop eating beef and driving SUVs.

To do well in pricey places like Santa Barbara, use what locals know, look into ways to invest, team up with backers, check out how to pay for things, aim for cheap homes, do deep checks on the market, and get to know folks in the area.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

Ultimately, I thought perhaps folks may have worked with a specific attorney that specializes in this sort of scenario, much like many of us share referrals for professionals that support the highly specialized needs of investors.

I am, like a number of the folks here, looking of a product where I can run  mulitple business in one product. 

So far, I’ve had them all on title at different positions.But instead of lining them all up at different debt positions, is there a way to “bundle” these folks together?

Maximum 10 total properties (not 10 financed properties like fannie/freddie 1-4 unit properties, so even if the properties are free and clear it counts against this 10 "properties," whether there is debt/liens against them or not)You can use 1 year tax returns for self employment and 1 year tax returns for rental property income calculations as well which is huge for BP folks since most of us are rental property investors and self employed/S-corp/schedule C personal tax returns@Matthew Kwan @Carlos Valencia @Joe Homs

In my case, I own a property that they keep trying to bill me for things like grass cutting and trimming shrubs--they claim they are sending property preservation folks to my house often. 

The property is in pinellas county (clearwater)   The folks above are correct that you can check out the county recorder's office / public records, which may entail having to go down there in person during gov't work hours.You can also ask your realtor or loan officer, who may be more available, and can send it to you via email.
