With my increased AirBnB performance, I decided to turn 2 other rental homes into short term rentals and decided it was worth investing in proper training to make sure I was doing it right. 

I don't believe they properly screened her. 

They often offer coaching programs that can guide you through the fix-and-flip process, including how to properly assess properties during walkthroughs.

If it is for liability protection, keep in mind to actually limit your liability means that any loans and insurance for the property need to properly be in the name of the LLC and not your personally.

Start by setting up a proper business structure—an LLC or S-Corp—and obtaining an EIN.

Using a GC you will have less headaches as you'll have one point of contact and they will coordinate schedules between the various trades. 

The more time you spend on administrative tasks coordinating with multiple service providers, the less time you get to spend on managing your properties, finding new potential investments and increasing your financial returns.Tax strategies and property insurance are two areas that are highly customizable because no two portfolios are identical.

This would be my first STR so I also am personally interested in giving this business model a try to see if I do want to operate in this space longer term and want to do this properly.
