So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

Your feedback has given me clarity and your suggestions offered once implemented will mitigate some risks.I'm waiting on the rent roll and supporting documents for further analysis.

I would suggest going to the find a lender tab here on bigger pockets to find a local lender who has the same products. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

You wouldn't need to keep an eye on other investments, just focus on the one and maximize your cashflow.If I can make a suggestion though...I might be wrong, but I don't think you started househacking to take the simple route. 

Hi,I suggest you create a bank account with one of the bigger banks in your area that has many locations.  

That person is responsible for anyone one else that comes into contact with your property.I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

I would suggest starting with reading the IRC book all the way through multiple times.

Lots of us are happy to offer suggestions but I think we need to understand your situation better.All the best!

Please suggest we have a rental in a living trust.
