I work  with investors that are staring their investment journey this way and they find that they can get control of a great property for a small down payment.  

Not sure who you could talk into doing this.. you lose all control..

If you controlled this deal you could present it to the right investor with the right proposal and split the $1000/month cashflowExample 2- Just got a call from a tired landlord.

Within three weeks, we managed to coordinate all aspects of the sale, including helping the seller transition her belongings into storage and securing a solid offer.This wasn’t just a transaction—it was about helping a client regain control over her life.

But if you both want to own/control the properties it probably makes more sense to have a legal entity.

If your lease doesn't explicitly address pest control responsibilities, it’s worth reviewing and considering adding a pest clause in the future to prevent disputes by adding every single pest.

I just purchased my first Short Term rental and am looking into Smart Home Devices.

Whichever are combined into a single device.

@Ananth SubramanianThe thing to remember is this: you can't control what other people do, only what you do.

Note if prop 33 passes, SFR can become rent controlled.
