Ton of good info and statistics in there for you to assess risk down there.

This is just based off of my business deal flow and no other statistic.

Hopefully the big data companies will start tracking statistics as that happens 

I also wanted to add if that you bought your Investment with your Personal Name and used a Personal Mortgage, then transferred the title to an LLC but left the Mortgage exactly the way it is where you are personally liable for the Mortgage, it would seem that any competent Lawyer will pierce the LLC by claiming that the Investment property is just an Alter Ego of the Actual Owners because it pays an Mortgage that has been personally guaranteed by the actual Owner.Not only that, it can even be seen as Comingling funds as Company Funds pays a personal debt.I don't know the statistics, but I would love to see if there is any cases in which a Lawsuit of this nature was successfully defended in this way.To me, that's the only way I would rely on an LLC for Liability protection if I hold the Mortgage in my Personal name.Whatever way you think, the Business Owners Policy is your shield, NOT the LLC.

I too have an engineering degree but now specialize in statistics, which we all know can be bent to serve someone’s purpose.All those factors you mentioned are important.

It's very hard to find solid ROI statistics on STRs today.

What is that investor statistic?

I have done searching in the past via census data, bureau of labor statistics, and national association of realtors data.  

@Ali Boone Hi Ali, I looked up statistics for the safest cities and low unemployment rates and that is how I ended up in Broken Arrow and Round Rock.

I think the statistic is less than 3% of people in America have a SDIRA but you know of that 3%, a large majority are accredited and looking for investments.Also if you combine what's said above in terms of thought leadership and marketing, and combine a charitable component, I think that can also go a long way in terms of raising capital.
