I want to be in control of what happens with my property and my cancellation policy so I won't use Airbnb or VRBO for midterms.

Before you spend any more energy or resources on this endeavor explain the precise fear that has you wanting to transfer this property to an LLC.

Despite popular option the fed nor a president has direct control over long term interest rates.

While I don’t suggest that the smaller type investor purchase and utilize “exotic” vehicles like foreign asset protection trusts, family limited partnerships with outside controls, or Byzantine or convoluted maze of ownership entities, the more simple strategies of using Series LLCs, self directed retirement plans, and paying off their home mortgage to the extent of the Federal BK homestead exemptions can insure that a plaintiff attorney never even considers going after them.  

However, the price is controlled (rent price that is), so it really depends, because the RENT VALUES are going to be below market average. 

I admittedly have a bias against condos for the following reasons:1) HOAs - both a lack of control over fees and assessments, as well as potential regulation changes2) they don’t appreciate as much3) you have to work a lot harder to differentiate yourself from your neighbors. 

This would allow you to keep the current mortgage and keep entire control of the property.

., if I’m dealing with someone in, say, Chicago or Austin, I know precisely which local operators are closing quickly and which boutique lenders are staying nimble.

So, YOU or a project manager or a designer or a partner would be more ideal to have control over the scope of work.
