We have a management LLC (owned by my wife) & I have an LLC for my web design, authoring and consulting business.

I custom designed all the windows and exterior doors.

I would also be taking an honest look at my property to see if it needs an upgrade in design, and if the STR even stands out enough in the first place.

Given that the "portfolio" page is marketing designed to entice investors to invest or raise confidence in your investor acumen it should be accurate.

there’s a funny debate on this. we put it on one of our rentals in SoCal and it’s netter us in a positive way and made us more attractive to prospective tenants.that being said, IF it were truly lucrative I think we’d see more corporate apartments like Greystar and Redwood installing solar panels.If you do install, make sure you figure out what tax credits you qualify for etc and make sure your output is covered by the panels for day AND night. theres no sun at night.. so make sure when they design they dont hide that. the salespeople are shady with that aspect and it’s annoying.
