DC Investment Property:First read your bylaws and see if there are rental restrictions.Note, in DC you need to apply for and have a business license to rent property.

Both from how you want to structure your rental property business and how to handle things from a tax perspective. 

But we dont go down the chain to see if the roofer is paying his shingles bill though /  Having Subs you can trust is paramount in this business.. cheap is not always what you waant you want subs that are making money and pay their bills and have credit..

I don't really know, however I do know the expert whos book I'm reading does CRE day in and day out and showed me their properties, while I've never seen anything from Peter and I don't even know what his CRE business actually is.A final word to Peter and the Commercial Properties Advisors TeamWhether you agree with this or not, what you are doing is a scam/con and unethical.

@Kenneth Joseph Perfido If you’ve moved to a new state and plan to conduct business there, you generally have two options: register your existing LLC as a foreign LLC in the new state or form a new LLC in the new state.

and also like what I do Utilize as STRs: You furnish and list these properties as short-term rentals (STRs) on platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb.Generate Cash Flow: The higher rental income from STRs, compared to long-term rentals, allows you to cover your mortgage/lease payments, generate positive cash flow, and potentially have funds left over for further investments.Positive Cash Flow: STRs often generate higher rental income than long-term rentals, allowing you to cover your costs and potentially profit.Tax Advantages: You can often deduct expenses related to your STR business, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and maintenance costs.

The short term rental business has been fine, up until this month where I saw the lowest bookings since opening.

If they aren't doing much business/volume, they will send you a nice looking term sheet, and you will go through hell trying to get the loan closed.

Or like many small in businesses you raise cash from friends family and anyone else that knows loves and trusts you.The other thing I suggest is to make that $27,000 or $37000, or $50000 yourself over the next year. 

But guess what, rates WILL drop in the next few months/years and most markets will explode after that IMO.If I had 25K I would look into B or B+ (specifically with schools above 5 greatschools rating, and moderate to low crime rate confirmed by heat map and frequenting businesses there) areas within 25 minutes driving distance from my home for a SFH.
