We are nearly finished renovating a rental property in Oklahoma, and have started rehabbing our primary home in Tucson, AZ.

My thought was that it would be best if she does the primary STR work and log her hours and ensure that she spends more time on the STR than I do (at least officially logged hours... since I will most likely always be thinking about the STR... haha). 

I’m interested in doing an STR out of an RV on my primary residence.

While long-term rentals are still an option, I’m noticing that many investors are shifting towards STRs to boost their net profit.Here’s where I stand:VA Loan for leverage: I’ve found some great properties that could allow me to house-hack or set up a traditional rental.

We’re considering a new primary residence that has a large agricultural building on it.What things do we need to consider for offering it as a storage?

My other purpose other than some hopeful appreciation over time is that my primary residence is 1 mile away.  

Having been heavily in short term rentals for a while, I've found this to be about as much work up front, but we don't have to furnish, we don't have the management nightmares that STRs bring, we make as much or more cash flow, and we handle less maintenance than a traditional SFR.

I realize the LLC is for liability protection but my goal is to retire early and I want to phase into REI being my primary source of income.

(PMI effectively raises your mortgage APR and is no longer a tax deduction on a primary residence.)If you really want to invest, what short-term sacrifices are you willing to make?
