These are top drive-to destinations for much of the Southeast, so short-term rentals here can generate solid cash flow, especially during peak seasons.The area is also seeing steady growth, with more infrastructure and amenities being added to support visitors and new residents.

remember, these are NOT conforming loans, so all the consumer protections one might be used to having aren't there.

The loan you have with them will not support an LLC, so there is no documenation to give you.

Unfortunately, that is an expensive time-consuming process.

SF investing supports my lifestyle goals better than MF, because it is a lot more passive and I can focus on my other businesses.Which brings me to the next point.

This is getting very tedious and time consuming.

I think broader consumer taste is killing malls, which includes online shopping, but also even where people are choosing to live and how they are spending their time/money, more broadly.I worked for a company that bought a failing mall back in 2012 (online shopping was "killing retail" then too), redeveloped most of it into more open air power center and sold.  

I respect and support you and your decision.

I asked if you know of the statutory support for it or court cases. 

What I think you'll need to find out from lenders/banks/credit unions is how much historical timeline they'll need to review to support the valuation/income.
