This ensures that when the borrower exits, the title company is aware of the JV agreement, further protecting the investor’s interests.I’m just blown away at how hard it is to find people to do this since it quite honestly is a solid deal with the ins-and-outs planned out already. 

They are my favorite, because they are cheap and snap together higher, which better protects from splashing water.

If you added in the cash you should have to protect against contingencies, the actual return goes down (or the risk sykrockets, your choice)- If the $300K properties cashflow, definitely a better bet.

There's no way to guarantee things won't break, there are only ways to protect yourself financially so you can replace those items.

Airbnb offers $3M damage protection insurance (AirCover) if guests don't pay for the damages they cause, and $1M liability insurance if a guest gets hurt or their belongings are stolen.That being said, I too do not allow instant booking or most last-minute long-term bookings out of nowhere.

Exactly that’s why I’m trying to figure out a way to take ownership or protect my investment as I’m taking over payments and do not wanna leave it under their name as they can just come back and take it

The tenants in the 3 bedroom rental aren't in a protected class but I do not want to get in any kind of legal bind.
