In theory, you could QT the property to an LLC in your name and enter into a lease with you personally.

It has worked out for me, but I'm wondering if anyone else has another person they trust that I can float other, similar tasks to?  

As long as no “healthcare” services are provided (like medication or personal care), it’s not regulated by the Department of Health.

Personally, I'd start looking in markets you're familiar with, similar to what you said in your post.

It's stronger in court if they do it, nothing personal.

Choose a goal so ambitious it forces you to grow into the person who can achieve it.

I had another person speak highly of New Western.

I asked when the other person will retire.  

Some high-end STR's (like in Joshua Tree) do use professional models, but for your market and property type, I’d suggest removing personal photos and focusing on the space itself, so guests can imagine themselves there, which is really what you want.You also have 81 photos, that’s too many.

I tried to create rapport with the owner over the phone but waited to present my real agenda only in person.
