Completely Separate entities with completely separate management accounts means more administrative work and other costs.

I have a super accurate customer database and I have as many as 8 different phone numbers for many of my customers.

The only alternative to this, would arguably end up costing a lot more because it would mean breaking down every function into a billable and than tiered options on each and all of this add's a whole ton more administrative and accounting measures just to track and manage, thus adding more admin impact and there in, more cost.

Serving in both Com and Res allows access to both mls databases as well as connections to both worlds!

@Eden Meng contact your Solo 401k administrator regarding regulations regarding leasing  mid term and long term rental properties.They should provide guidance regarding prohibited transactions.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do more advanced searches using the MD Dept of Assessments database or perhaps through another online service? 

It's doable but you'd be doing a lot in house for fund administration and that is a ton of risk.

An Administrative Interpretation is recommended for a building where a short-term rental will be located.

Meanwhile hardly any emphasis is placed on the loan administration and even more importantly the relationship component of lending.Far too many investors, particularly those just starting out, are being conditioned to seek out the “easy” lending choice rather than invest time and energy required to cultivate meaningful relationships with lenders who truly value the borrower/lender relationship and are interested in assisting you grow.

@Andrew Steffens We are a full service property management company, we do offer some of our homeowners just the administrative side of things at a discounted price.
