Perhaps including a floorplan diagram would help tenants visualize the three units in the house? 

That would be for Advertising, Booking, Payment processing, housekeeping, hot tub/pool cleaning,  pre-post inspection of property, etc. etc.Your other venture of 'converting rentals into STR's' almost has another consulting dynamic to it as you are going to have to properly assess the return on investment of converting the rental to an STR including market analysis, FFE costs and overall just figuring out if it's a financially sound business decision for your client. 

I drive by monthly and do a visual inspection to make sure the grass is mowed and there are no cars parked on the lawn, etc.

Their internal power dynamics are all F'd up, such that the people with fancy titles actually have power, and the people at the bottom actually do what they are told (stupid way to run a mortgage company).

This intermediary model works OK if your investment goals are pretty singular and static in nature, but not so well if your investment goals will be more dynamic or time sensitive.An alternative approach is plans offering checkbook control such as the IRA LLC or Solo 401k.

None of these support dynamic data which is completely lame!  

Lithuania seems more dynamic, in my opinion.
