@Gabriela Angel nothing good comes from tenants knowing you are the owner.They just get to pressure you for immediate responses, whereas you typically want time to think and respond.Many here will state otherwise, but won't provide LOGICAL reasons, only emotional ones.

The difference between CPAs and EAs is addressed  here (scroll down to my long comment on that old thread): https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51-tax-legal-issues-con...As to finding competent tax accountants, there are 20+ of us right here on this forum.

Again, that's all fine and good but the numbers have to work which is why I was hoping to speak to someone with first hand knowledge of owning a property or properties in the town without an axe to grind like the Seabrook sales people.On the issue of negative STR regulations roughly half the houses in the town are in their rental program currently so I don't see that as an issue in the future as an investor as it's baked into the town's business model and not likely to change.

We will be hearing from you again on issue after issue.

If not, I have no issues taking on a "cash paying" tenant.In terms of what I would do in your shoes with $100k... it sounds like your plan is pretty solid.

But unless you know and understand the reasoning behind it, and are sure the reasoning applies to you, opening up all these LLCs because "everybody does that" or "that's what my real estate bible told me to do" is a pretty silly way to run a business.Taxes and, I assume, legal issues, are never cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all issues. 

I know that the rent is guaranteed, but that isn’t enough for me probably since I haven’t had very many issues with nonpayment of rent. 

Second, do the math and tally costs both monetary and emotional....is it better to get an attorney and go thru eviction process or give her the incentive to get out.

Hey @Blake Alan Quarrie - What garbage company is issuing violations? 

My main issue is Nick Weaver, one of the 3 partners at this group.
