This is a very very difficult business because you have to buy company with higher valuation without knowing their product (doing DD/financial audit to young company or bankrupt company is extremely difficult) and then establish supply-chain-model (establish partnership with amazon/ups/fedex) and such.

In your opinion, what is the most effective way to establish an LLC? 

After establishing or continuing it as a rental, I'd like to move there myself for at least half the year.Question: What are people's general opinion on PR in 2024?

If willing to invest more effort for higher ROI, consider Option 3 (building your own team), though it requires time to establish reliable management.

My understanding is that O.J. used asset protection trusts established in Nevada with spendthrift clauses to protect his assets from creditors...

And boom you buy a lot for the price of a single lot and with some simple forms to the city you get to re establish the old lots..

- regional / drivable destination (I've personally rented out a bunch of Airbnbs here)- already established STR laws (while very strict, they have shown to grandfather in permits and haven't proposed a flat out ban that would also retroactively take away permits)- Fredericksburg also fights new hotels just as hard as STRs.

Trusting a GC can work if you thoroughly vet them, use a detailed contract with clear milestones, and establish systems for accountability.
