Please let me know what is convenient for you, and we can set up some time to meet.Aloha,Barb That sounds great, Barb.

It sounds like we didn't do a good job of setting expectations with you on the front end.

Even with 200 STRs it isn't a broad enough cross section to assume the changes.You would need to have millions of data points to show the trend IMHO. 

I need to source the data myself, run the numbers, check the calculations, eventually build my own custom spreadsheet etc. 

With that said I'm curious as to what would be the best business set up (sole, LLC or Corporation).

If you do decide to work with them, you could set up a clear partnership where they’re equity partners and you handle the management and operations.

Those positions are hard to come by but if you can find one and get your green card, you're set! 

We’re fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.
