Common theme in STR space is in markets where less than thirty day stays are permitted, investors are switching to medium term rentals.

That seems to be a running theme, along the same lines as assuming you will be paying for property management even if you really intend to manage the property yourself.

Things went okay until I decided no to renew the lease, and instead sell the property for personal reasons (wedding, new job, etc.).

It seems the theme I noticed in everyone's response is that I should take whatever business comes my way, while actively working with as many investors as possible.

If I have him put the insurance into the LLC name and then sign the LLC over the me can this keep the lender from seeing what is going on? 

He also holds meetings the 2nd Wed of each month in Jax.

I don't want to make it TOO much of a hunting lodge theme.

Plan to oick them up Wed or Thurs, probbably set them on Sat, then take them back on Monday.Don't know what the results will be, but it may save me a bunch of money.

Here are few which I go regularly,Fort Bend REI - First Tue of Month at Rudy'sHeritage Home Buyers Investors Meet up - First Wed of Month at their locationJET Lending Meeting up - 3rd Wed of Month - Redneck Club - It's big event and can be hit or miss.Hope this helps to get you started.

I knew I would have to change, but I didn't really know what I would do.And then my mom died, and I kind of drifted, until I met a very nice woman (the theme repeats) and got married.
