I looked at the city's sites about rentals and I didn't see anything that would benefit new STRs.

In terms of cash flow, depending on the market you are interested in.

She will need a specialized insurance policy for short term rentals.

I don't really want a separate meter for the ADU, especially since we will have solar/battery installed on the main home and would want the benefit of that for the ADU.

If you're into long term buy and hold to target appreciation, Columbus is another market you can check out. 

Traditional Banks have more rigorous approval processes, which can take weeks or even months.We are usually more flexible with loan terms and conditions and are more aggressive with leverage (higher leverage compared to banks), while banks generally have rigid loan terms and conditions that may not be as adaptable to unique investment scenarios.Private lenders are more focused on the potential of the investment itself rather than the borrower’s credit history or financial background.

So you would have to get a commercial loan if going straight to the LLC - which usually has worse terms (shorter rate lock period, shorter amortization schedule).USUALLY, you can borrow personally and then deed it to the LLC after the fact and as long as the LLC is owned by the borrower you won’t trigger a due on sales clause.  

would love to help, we are doing long-term rentals in southern DFW and have seen a lot of success - we now have over 150 units. 

im new here, my names Hunter and I come with two short term rentals and two long term rentals.
