Prior to last year, effectively any SFR was eligible for a short term rental license.

Currently my short-term management property is managed by the property management company.

Walkthroughs are never detailed enough to be final (ie often tenants have lower disconnected and discover broken appliances later.) 

Although the study may increase the gain, the gain may be taxed at a much lower rate making it a beneficial investment.If a property is purchased with the intention to flip or own for a short period of time (less than 3 years), a cost segregation study may not be significant.Overall, as long as you intend to hold the investment property for greater than a year, the benefits of a cost segregation study should be considered.

The challenge, as you’ve discovered, is that traditional HELOC lenders typically want the property titled in a personal name rather than an LLC.

Its like a short-sale, its better than a foreclosure but has downsides as well. 

Our first accepted offer was a 320 unit deal that we contracted, put up non-refundable (yeah, I know) earnest money, and thought we had our financing and money in place to do the deal.  2 weeks before closing a major (several million) partner pulled out leaving us short of the funds needed to close. 

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.

Overall, everyone has been nothing short of friendly and helpful. 

So infilling an income gap via people who can disappear just as easily as appear seems short sighted to me.
